Aranos - all instruments
'Sunset Beaches Crumble' begins with rhythmic piano and violin and mixed effects which slowly morphs into very long and sweet violin drones with haunting deep, subtle vocals. Somewhat in the vein of minimalist composer Tony Conrad and his violin drones. A mix of Eastern Europen folk music with avant-garde techniques. 'Octopus Field' is a more low-fi, free flowing soundscape with layers of minimal organic sounds and effects. Very opposite sounding to 'Sunset Beaches Crumble.' The song borders on ambient with a hint of electroacoustic stylings mixed into it.

A kind of weepy folk base to build slowly evolving mounds of tension, and the vocals, which appear sparingly, sound like they emanate from an old man who lives in your mattress. The two pieces here focus on Aranos' violin, his primary instrument. The record would make a charming addition to any decent collection. - The Wire
