Three years after their first CD for 1.8sec label, the duo Domenico Sciajno and Kim Cascone release a new album containing recordings made in Palermo in June 2008. This release shares with the previous one the noticeable fact that music is published as recorded, without any editing or further manipulations demonstrating the strong affinity and solidity of this duo.
It is music with a double face: at low volume it creates comfortable and luxurious electronic soundscapes but at a higher volume the aggressive aspects are revealed and introduces new and unpredictable sonic architectures.

Reviews

With Kim Cascone, he already produced a CD for 1.8 Sec, but in the summer of 2008 they worked together on new recordings in Palermo. I thought it was a particular strong album. Both are in fine shape here. I must say I haven't heard much from Kim recently, but what he does here is great. It moves away from the free laptop play ground, of letting sounds run wild and free, but the five pieces sound composed. I am assured that this is not the case, but instead all live and without editing, which is hard to believe. At a lower volume this is perhaps micro-ambient music, but I played this somewhat louder than usual, and then all sorts of nasty frequencies come out, like a deep bass on the opening of 'Cleistogamia' and some high frequencies in 'Eulophia'. A solid work all around, two highly skilled masters at work.
