about

Irving's second solo album is a stream of instrumental ambient, electronic and minimalist pieces designed to please, incense, enthrall and confuse the listener. Described by an experimental music magazine (who refused to review it) as "too experimental" it's sure to tease out some kind of opinion in all who hear it.

The music is influenced by a wide range of sources including Steve Reich, Frank Zappa, Robert Fripp & Hip-Hop. Walking a fine line between loosely sequenced Moog and sample based arpeggios and live improvised performances, notable moments from the album include the frenetic ‘Mitral Insufficiency’, which is made up of over five hundred razor blade edits, the hypnotic ‘Recorder’ and the abstract ‘Hocket’, a song with no tune, theme, time signature or key.

Sometimes very odd, but nearly always very interesting. A heady mix of experimental music, electro, hip-hop and just plain craziness.
