Shape-Space

VINYL FORMAT! Still produced and sequenced on Barnes' favoured Kurzweil sampling keyboard, the ten tracks gathered here on CD, and eight on vinyl (including one exclusive) build a self-assured and propulsive dynamics, moving closer to the hypnotic minimalism of the Cologne sound. Slowly building, tracks are formed from warm, abstract sounds, carefully shaped into a percussive tapestry of stabbing offset rhythms and EQ-tweaks. 4/4 beats are overlaid with mesmeric loops. Textures hang and morph like gas-clouds. Drawing the listener in, each track forges its own, distinctive space, flickering and shifting, expanding and unfurling before your ears, creating a sense of depth, using textures and layers whilst keeping the tracks organic in nature. The intentional noise and hiss are used to create an extra moving layer of sound which fuels the dynamics of the original sound.
