Catalog Number: RON042LP Color: Black Format: LP UPC: 610098168539 A Certain Darkness Is Needed to See the Stars" (38:51 min.) is an energetic, minimal, polyrhythmic composition. It was played on a single prepared drum set (with aluminium foil), without any loops or overdubs. Time and form dissolve as loops and repetitions take hold. The piece expands and contracts. It changes texture while still maintaining a steady pulsating fuidity. The listener is forced to cede control and relax into it. You never know how long any given theme will stay the same, nor what will follow.
