Album Notes

Following on the heels of the highly praised Praying For Rain, respected Canadian producer Martino attacks us again with this ultra deep and unique instrumental project.

Martino's latest foray is an exploration of three ideas repeating themselves into the ground over a very shaky foundation: while violins and pianos lay out a three chord theme, a relentless synth melody exhausts itself over a roaring bass line and loose groove. The result is the quintessence of raw. Nothing evolves in this track, there is only erosion. Ideas are distorted and clarity is lost.

Tyrone Solomon of 83 West Productions spearheads the remixes, conjuring up a menagerie of undulating beats, sonorous melodies, and whirling textures. His signature drum programming drives the three separate recurring musical themes while deconstructing the entire arrangement as a whole, baring each element in its rawest form, while never straying from the concept of the original.
