This track has been originally composed in 2001 as the titletrack of a diagonal chains album I released through vitaminic (diagonal chains was my old 'nom de plume' with which I recorded mainly industrial and electronic things). Re-arranged for new analogic and digital equipment it was included into Downward Design Research live set in recent years but we played it live just once. So I decided to re-arrange it again on my own and I play it regularly during my live appearances. The destiny of this track is to evolve through time anyway as it is now part of a new collaboration project between me and Luigi Maria Mennella (F.ormal L.ogic D.ecay, En Velours Noir, Furvus). Deeply inspired by the short novel of the same name by Robert Silverberg (which is in turn a rendition in sci-fi style of the Joseph Conrad classic). Enjoy.

Fifth track of almost automatic landscapes new album "transparency", available as a high quality download or cd digi-pack on bandcamp. aalmusic.bandcamp.com/album/transparency

"transparency" is intended as a continuous and constantly changing flow, a stratified sound object generated by synthesizers that try to evoke an indefinite "elsewhere" where new unpredictable meanings involving memory, time, dream, imagination, reality and unreality are created and made visible (and/or audible) by light shining through from behind.

"transparency" is an ambient album. No drum machines, no rhythm loops: just layers upon layers of sounds coming from synthesizers.

Transparency, Pt. 7

"just light" is the new album by almost automatic landscapes. A definitely "next step" in almost automatic landscapes sonic evolution as it features drum machines and "traditional" song structures to go with layers upon layers of analog synthesizers sounds. Cosmic inspiration remains, but structures change. Main theme of the album: non-duality.
