Press Play
This track actually always reminds me of the Whistler painting The Falling Rocket which I saw at an exhibition in The Tate Britain about 5 years ago. It seemed relevant for today because I have just observed Earth Hour. It was very tranquil inside the house because I decided to switch everything off. I have quite a noisy house - with the hum of the fridge and the pc and the rattling flatulence of the Saniflow system - so it was a relief to be at peace; as the Earth was, with all of those lights off.
And it was by the light of several candles that I sat down and wrote the first of many letters I won't send. Writing in the dark, with no sound was a very cathartic experience and one I hope to repeat as regularly as is possible.
I first came acrossAstrobotnia a.k.a. Ovuca through @Innit on Blip.fm and have listened to various projects he has worked on since. I'm from Cornwall, home of Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert who have both been associated with the Warp label and Aphex's label Rephlex. Where Aleksi Perälä's music can be found.
