Disgusting, arrhythmic, digital noise crossed with ambiental passages is what describes this release best. This piece of anti-art is the end result of a year-long process of collecting random noises, voices and other ambient sounds, playing numerous analogue and digital instruments, messing with various mechanical sound alteration devices and, finally, intentional software-powered deconstruction of what could have turned out as a listenable and perhaps enjoyable musical experience had it been the other way. As it is backed up by author's emotional distress and strong personal feelings of pain, loss, discomfort, apathy, disease, nihilism, cynicism and similar jovial subjects, there is no further need to explain the nature of this record and why does it, metaphorically, reflect the urge to disintegrate all those pleasant concepts and ruts we are used to. But the final thought is still pointed at love, courtesy, thankfulness and the struggle those feelings demand. This record consists of one 28-minute-long track, supposedly divided into four movements, but still impossible to be comprehended separately, each representing a combination of a certain person, occurrence and associated feelings. Silence on the other side of the tape, tape design, cover art and its tenous details - all this plays an important role in the overall feel of this release. In fact, its every possible aspect, no matter how small or unimportant it may seem, from notional and aestethic to functional and artistic creates, at least within the author, a feeling hardly describable by words. It's the whole unimaginably greater than the sum of its parts. Since this record shouldn't even exist or be listened to anyway, it is strictly limited to only 11 cassette tapes so as fewer people as possible could get hold of it.
