Computer woe. The machine I use for printing / burning the CDs available in the shop has had to be returned to the manufacturer with a fault, this means any orders placed will be delayed until the computer is returned. I would hope to resume normal service within at most two weeks.

REVIEW OF SER007
Review by Icefalls

On these seven beautiful and spacious pieces, Türkowsky skillfully and delicately manipulated both his instruments and the effects processors, so that as looped and recycled as these tones are, they never become dissonant or overtly digital or clinical in nature.
Gentle swells of feedback are layered atop one another providing an almost heavenly glow on "Stravanger Blick". On "De Dodu", multiple cycles of fieldrecording sounds bounce along, popping and bubbling around one another to a deep and sultry sound bed made up of nothing but hum. Mmm...nice.
Türkowsky never loses the sense of overall structure, no matter how long the songs are. He doesn't just make his instruments sing, he makes them shine.
It's easy to lose yourself in the gorgeous, multi-hued wash of sound, but don your headphones and the record changes as abruptly as a 3-D movie does when you put on those silly glasses. Each aural element moves in carefully calibrated relation to the others; the slow spiral and uplift of fluttering tones and the narrowing and widening of pitch intervals imparts a sense of wonder similar to the one I felt when I watched a dusk gathering of gasbags. At the end "Ein Wind" turning everything into dust.
It must be a heady thing to be capable of summoning such beauty. I give Türkowsky a big credit for this night tapes experiment. I'm glad that he left this artifact of his night explorations.
