wabisabi7 Another stunning work from Rotor Plus. Achingly beautiful soundscapes, rich in texture and imagery. I've found every release, from start to finish, to be an aural delight.

fauxCoder No one--NO ONE--makes music like rotor plus. A gift and a tonic. Pure respect flows from the artist to the medium and is instantly obvious to the listener. Respect for silence and respect for thought. That this is only part 1 should be hope enough for us all. Favorite track: Fugue States -before- I awoke in a dark wood.

about

Before-I awoke in a dark wood
1.1 a hill to die on
1.2 undone
1.3 what is it like to be a river (set on fire)?
1.4 pulled from the dark water
1.5 sublimation

After- the beautiful background
2.1 distances without horizons
2.2 the demon-haunted world
2.3 beneath the waves
2.4 another empty room
2.5 beyond the tide (for MH)
2.6 elegy
2.7 another door

Part one of a two-part series exploring fugue states.

Kia ora, I thought for a long time about doing a physical release for this album and ultimately (though you know I love beautiful packaging) I couldn't justify making more CD booklets at this moment in history.
So I have produced a useful tool instead. A pencil.

The full price for the album includes access to a 5.1 surround file and a pencil sent to your physical address.

Make sure you INCLUDE A MESSAGE with your order of your address so I know where to send the pencil.

You will be sent a download code for the surround file within a few hours of buying the album and the pencils will be sent out within a few days. I'll let you know.

The surround file is 48k 24bit.wav with channel order (LRCLFELsRs)
-though there is very little C and LFE information. I have tested it with VLC and it works fine.

Thanks for your support at these astonishing times. r+

You will also get part two FREE when you buy this album.
