In his continuing investigation into contemporary electronic
music, Paul Ellis has produced THE INFINITY ROOM (60'01").
On this sonic expedition he provides music no less structured
than on previous releases, but with a reduced directed energy.
While the heat may be turned down, this music is still quite
animated in its color range and articulation. Working with a
palette out of the tonal twilight, Ellis carefully layers elemental
tones and distinctive accents over an ever-shifting foundation of
chords to form a range of new and expressive synthetic
arrangements. His synthesizers, powered by a current both
electrical and imaginational, allow Ellis to inhabit his own
territory - somewhere between a new cinematic spacemusic and
an ultra-cerebral prog-rock. Each of the six tracks begin simply,
but in time evoke complex meditations. The vivid sonic
compounds are the magic and essence of THE INFINITY ROOM.
Each piece possesses a unique and original narrative formed
out of engaging melodies, a beautiful contrast of harmony and a
continuum of classic and newfound sounds. With this work, Ellis
proves that carefully arranged and composed melodious
electronic music made up of complexly modulated sounds and
dramatic tonal shifts need not sound obtuse, overly intellectual
or trite. From cosmic stillness, to shining brilliance, to sensory
seduction, Ellis' imaginative scoring and captivating intensity
conjure up new visions with each session.

Live on STAR'S END - The Ministry of Inside Things - 07.02.06

The Ministry of Inside Things, includes Chuck van Zyl on synths
and Art Cohen on guitar. Their music has been inspired by the
Berlin-School of cosmic spacemusic and influenced by
everything from sci-fi themes to nuclear fission to chillout room
abstractions. The group's goal is to create in the mind of the
listener a sense of movement through space along the arc of a
dynamic contour. Owing much to improvisation, each original
performance traverses a vast sonic terrain. With recent
performances at Voices Beyond the Dome, The Whitaker Center,
The Ambient Ping and The Gatherings Concert Series, MoIT
continues a tradition of bringing an otherwise methodical studio
based artform out into the spontaneity of the performance
environment. Their recently released live CD is CONTACT
POINT. Tune in to this week's broadcast of STAR'S END for a live
in-studio live radio concert with The Ministry of Inside Things.
