review:
Artificial Memory Trace has Singtra (WAYSTYX45),
whose cardboard wallet (decorated with trams and tramlines)
has been neatly sliced across the diagonal to reveal the bright yellow
traffic light within. Buy a ticket for this particular
trolley-ride and you'll be in for 24 minutes of minimal pulsing
and glistening music, rendered with precision and intense
concentration by its mysterious creator.
Slavek Kwi recorded trains in Prague in 1994
then reprocessed them ten years
later to create this extremely marginal music,
which can either induce existential despair,
or a form of ascetic rapture
in the brain.
End of the line, folks.
