A haunting dialogue between classical strings and the ghostly hum of urban electronics. Inspired by T.S. Eliot and the 2005 London bombings, it is cold yet deeply human.

July 19, 2010 · FatCat Records

A profound sense of urban isolation balanced by moments of fragile, aching beauty.

Moments Worth Listening For

The intrusion of aggressive radio static and morse code over the delicate piano opening of the first track.

The way the cello melody in 'infra 5' stretches out into a long, aching line against a backdrop of digital hiss.

The sudden, rhythmic urgency of the 'journey' sequences that break the stillness with repetitive, driving string patterns.
