Thus a 48-minute piece was generated, in which the predominant sound is that sort of constant drone typical of the big cities especially at night, a murmuring whirr that \u00e2\u20ac\u201c enjoyed in the right circumstance \u00e2\u20ac\u201c functions as a wrapping tissue, a protection against negative influence and, occasionally, a stimulator of profound reflections. Therefore, this is not a record that can be subjected to any kind of critical analysis: either you like it or you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t, and this writer happens to love it. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a narrative quality emerging from these obscure soundscapes: one figures human activities going on incessantly while we, as external observers, ponder about the roles carried on day by day, often unconsciously. The whole is tinged with a sense of ineluctability and steadiness at the same time, hundreds of intersections among different life conditions creating a widespread texture of whooshing low frequencies that seem to increase our inner safeguard. <em>Massimo Ricci<\/em><\/p>\n<p>via <a href=\"http:\/\/temporaryfault.blogspot.com\/2010\/04\/three-cronicas.html\">Temporary Fault<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a fine work, despite its obviously unpretentious nature.
