1977 by The Nest

• recorded 2016 in Zwingli-Kulturkirche Berlin Friedrichshain
• a binaural trip through the ambience of the church`s nave
• sound sources used: bass-guitar, saxophone, synthesizers,
tape-loops, turntables, a radio and found objects


"With a sound both ominous and spacious, the quartet allows the music to breathe and expand within the cavernous surroundings, all the while giving off an unsettling and claustrophobic vibe" (Tiny Mix Tapes)

“Life is slowed down hear, the tones are displaced, darkly ambient with a wiggly space music feel. While a melody glistens, others are shape-shifting objects ever so slightly, the percussive elements are like nerve-endings." (Toneshift)

“Um disco com uma linguagem muito própria, quase neurótica, que exige método na exploração, mas cuja audição é muito compensadora pela carga poética que em si contém e por nos convidar continuamente a aderir à sua bela estranheza.” (o dominio dos deuses)
