This compilation is an ongoing series that already has nine releases with different artists whose collaboration has been organized by the English Trestle Records label as a kind of "antidote" to the self-isolation and quarantine measures that they are currently experiencing due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Each release is published as an EP on vinyl format featuring a trio. For this, each musician starts a track and passes it to the next artist to add his/her section.
KCIN (Nicholas Meredith) on drums and modular synthesizers, Tilman Robinson on piano, synthesizer and field records and Aphir (Becki Whitton) - on vocals and pedal guitars, participate in this album.
KCIN is the project of Australian drummer / producer Nicholas Meredith who works with electronic and digital devices as well as organic elements. Tilman Robinson is an Australian composer, producer, and sound designer who creates electroacoustic music in a variety of musical currents such as minimalism, impromptu, experimental, electronic, and ambient music.
Aphir is Becki Whitton's alias for the composer, producer and engineer who owns a surreal electronic choral project.
This EP consists of three tracks and begins with "The Garden Of Earthly Delights - Panel 1", a neo-classical piece with soft roll of drums, austere piano notes and a synthesizer with an ambient backdrop.
“The Garden Of Earthly Delights - Panel 2” delves into an electronic and digital terrain with various flickers and abrasive noises that grow slowly but finally calm down its intensity.
And it closes, "The Garden Of Earthly Delights - Panel 3", also in a context of electronic music with pounding pulses and a background collage of various noises.
This series shows the great creativity of the artists involved to interpret - from a track that precedes them - and give it a coherent and solid continuity.
