about

We have been experimenting with long form improvisations or compositions from very early on, first documented on the limited digital release "Song1", and subsequently when we were attempting to record a new soundtrack for Horst's 1989 film "Rivers Flow", a project we eventually abandoned.

More recently, we have been returning to the long form, and "Confluence" emerged from one of these sessions. In a twist of musical fate, Horst used footage from "Rivers Flow" to create a video for this track, which you can watch at youtu.be/CpBL4hj0iNw

On this single, we are giving you two versions of "Confluence", which are quite different in character: the first more meditative, the second more psychedelic. In addition, there's a shorter, similarly water-themed track, "Of the Magnificent Sea", which we simply liked too much to bury it in the vaults.
