"An inexplicable draw, a love affair that can’t end, a refusal. Compounded layers, disharmony, the occasional synchronicity that could be mistaken for meaning.

For Stephan this follows on from sound collage and invented language project The Abrasion Tapes, from long distant collaboration Blitemotes.
