ORPHAX

Seamless drone-music that gradually intensifies throughout its 32 minutes of existence, Orphax's unsettling cadenza is comprised of tones extracted from one keyboard and one program (Audiomulch, since you ask). Reminiscent of single-track epics issued by the likes of Recommended, Fax or Touch Music, Under The Dutch Sky doesn't so much 'kick in' as unravel for the first eight minutes or so, before beginning to sound something like next-door's spin-cycle or an approaching Chinook. Rather compelling.
