Rose & Sandy
Horizontal Alliances, Vertical Conflicts
Nine years after Play Cat's Cradle, Rose and Sandy return to the same ecclesiastical source - here an auto-harp from the same convent - for a second extended collaboration, again played and processed live. The album divides into nine spectral bands functioning as strings to be stopped, muted or amplified, and reads the intervening years as a shift from devotion and idealism to entropy and conflict. The acoustic body remains, but its overtones now turn cold, shrill, fractured.
