Rapoon 'Time Frost' CD
Five nicely perfected chilled ambient pieces from Robin Storey.
"One of the predicted swings in the weather due to global warming is paradoxically a new ice age which could envelope Europe. 'Time Frost' is music based upon this concept and uses tiny fragments of music from an iconic European composition, Johann Strauss's 'Blue Danube'. I imagined that tiny pieces of former cultures survived locked in the ice and waiting for future archaeologists to discover and interpret them. I used vinyl lock grooves of the 'Blue Danube' (from the 1968 MGM recording for the film soundtrack 2001 ) These formed the starting points for the five compositions in 'Time Frost' which were then manipulated and added to and re-arranged into new compositions. 'Time Frost' is an imaginary recording of the mutational process of sound locked into ice and transformed over millennia. Like ghosts of music trapped in an evershifting permafrost."
