Label: Past Inside the Present (USA)

Dwell Time II, the second installment in a trilogy of tape loop experiments from T.R. Jordan, begins fittingly with “Dynamics”, as a grainy, fluttering howl opens into voluminous spatial tones, while dulcet synthesizers swell between the stereo channels with melancholy, crystalline sweetness.

Imagine a world in which only clean technologies and natural materials are used, and all equipment runs exclusively on solar energy and the energy of the movement of lithospheric plates.
