Taken from his recent tour of Argentina this is a feature-length excursion into the walk-on music created by Robert to tune the air as the audience enters the venue.
Labelled a sound sculpture, it resists the usual soothing effects commonly associated with the ambient genre. Even more austere than his minimalist Glass And Breath release from earlier in 2007, there’s a spreading of unease and ambiguity across the surface of this music. Though you could hardly call it aggressive, nevertheless there’s something about this track that it is prickly to the touch, resistant to any reassuring cadences and their implicit promises of certainty and resolution.
Whatever pensive thoughts may have accrued during the listening of the first track, Splash is like having cold water thrown between your ears and snaps you out of it sharpish!
