Intransitive Recordings INTO22 · 2002 CD · 50 minutes · Composed 1998–2000

Companion album to Stria. The result of a continual two-year collaboration and exchange — studying evolutionary patterns of sound dynamics through multiplications and groupings, resonance as both acoustic phenomenon and model for collective participation. Anywhere from one to over a thousand layers may coexist at any one moment, in a manner that can simultaneously operate as striations or confluxions.

"The thick syrup slowly oozing from the speakers is a shifting mass of hundreds of layers... 'The Distant Edge' uses field recordings from a demonstration in Belgrade, the clamor of car horns and machinery folded in upon themselves to the point of completely obscuring any relation to a field recording, resembling instead a discontented angelic choir." — Alessandro Moreschi, Bananafish

"These two albums contain some of the most technically accomplished and awesomely beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard, as infinitely complex and infinitely simple as light." — Dan Warburton, Paris Transatlantic, March 2003

"You penetrate into this heavy flow like a gigantic animal, letting yourself be taken away by the current. The current takes us into obscure cavities, open gigantic pools — other echoes appear, inhabited by phantoms." — Manu Holterbach, Revue & Corrigée, December 2002
