Funprox, for electronics and birds, 13.09.2004
review by: HD Birds in the title, birds on the cover and the sounds of twittering birds when this cd starts. The theme becomes instantly clear. But his album is certainly not only of interest to ornithologists. ‘For Electronics and Birds’ is recommended to everyone who loves moody electronic music with experimental structures, yet with [...]
