"Truly intrigued as a kid by the weird sounds his DIY electronica building kit could make, Mich L. (aka Mich Leemans of Paper Hats) never stopped his quest for more beauty in hidden frequencies and harmonics of modular synths and old tape recorders. His search into the deep mysterious sound spectrum unexpectedly made a surprising U-turn after a seizure of increasing tinnitus and enduring nausea. The concept of listening, as stated by Pauline Oliveros as "the involuntary nature of hearing and the voluntary, selective nature of listening" took focus in his being. These new insights, together with a studio rearrangement and the purchase of the EMS Synthi A are the keystones which shaped the contours of his debut solo album, Air Near Silence. A precious, fragile, and ultra-personal sonic exploration of the inner self translated in carefully constructed synth and tape compositions: a microscopic auditive dissection of time and soul. Slow burning stripped down shifting patterns, patched and wired straight from the heart, crawling steadily under your skin, with no plans to leave. Hushed analog splendor for patient music lovers who dare to be surprised. Recommended if you like: Eliane Radigue, Coil, Kali Malone, Lucy Railton, The Caretaker, Pauline Oliveros, BBC Radiophonic Workshop, Throbbing Gristle, early electronics, Deathprod... LP includes CD; also includes insert with liner notes." - Cortizona
