AH: What can you explore in Total Life that you weren’t able to explore in Growing?

KD: I don’t know if it’s something to explore more-- it's more about exploring less. In Growing, it was three people trying to work together to bring in their own perspective on something. With this, it’s my own perspective and that’s all it is-- it’s about refining that and making it more focused. That’s not necessarily a conscious decision-- it’s more the nature of working alone. I guess the hope is that I’m communicating something using my voice. With Total Life, that’s a pretty singular voice.

'pitreleh', a duane pitre / eleh collaboration

seems like it too, has the airy room-ness of pitre's 'feel free' combined with the equipoise-in-every-moment of eleh's tone-generators

calm, slightly buoyant

this one?

A U R O R A aims directly, through its monolithic construction, at blinding luminescent alchemy; not with benign heavenly beauty but through decimating magnetic force.

This is no pristine vision of digital music, it is a filthy, uncivilized offering of interrupted future time where emergency flares illuminate ruined nightclubs and the faith of the dancefloor rests in a diesel-powered generator spewing forth its own extinction, eating rancid fuel so loudly it threatens to overrun the very music it is powering.
