BURNING STAR CORE - Challenger

Challenger is a composed work rather than his more improvised work, each piece\r\nrevolving around a central melodic theme with field recordings, an audio diary bridging\r\nthe gaps. Its emotions of a period of time set to tape. The sounds range from pure tonal\r\nmood to huge electronic crescendos. But whats most remarkable is the use of space,\r\nwhere parts come in and drop to build or recede .When the piano crashes in Mysteries of\r\nthe Organ" its almost a frustration of paradise, a rejection of perfection or maybe a jolt of\r\ninexplicable life, unable to be translated into proper `communication. Juxtaposed with the\r\nquiet haunting of "Hopelessly Devoted" which sounds like a love letter written to outer\r\nspace, it makes for an album that is both dynamic yet consistent as a full statement." - Hospital Productions.\r\n
