REVIEW

... a music that explores the limits of sound research ... Meirino pushes himself fervently into the dark per tug of a complicated and conceptual sonic avant-garde with results so brilliant that he is sometimes able to redefine the very existence of sound as we know it (or believe we know) ... the principle governing the composers praxis is processing what is not supposed to be recorded, and its a beautiful and adventurous prospect if undertaken with rigour and fear... one might object that one cant understand where the art is in this mess of electrostatic discharges, insane oscillators, modified and altered samples, abused low and high frequency filters and left free to occupy the available sound space...
