about

The first of the two long pieces, played by the Soldier String Quartet and subsequently processed by Niblock, sounds like a hive of mellow bees. An initial tone cluster played by the strings undergoes microtonal, almost imperceptible shifts in pitch over 25 minutes. With the instruments all moving gradually away from their initial pitch and toward another, various harmonics and overtones emerge, then fade, creating beat frequency oscillations and other strange auditory effects.
