The eight small tracks on PHONEMA SACRATA (53'17") by
Cymphonic do not stimulate the edges of the listener's ears the
way long-form pieces do, but rather they open outward in the
mind. This music stimulates every part of the brain, and may
provide a bit of reprogramming - it absolutely does inspire
abstract thoughts. Swinging wider than most, the work hangs
together in a sort of dream-state narrative. A mesmerizing mix of
original electronic sounds, recurring evocative themes, dreamy
rhythms, grainy samples and unique pacing, PHONEMA
SACRATA is an imagination finding form in music. It is a work
inhabiting its own territory. Seeming to deal with the sleeper and
his access to other worlds, Cymphonic develops a brilliantly
shaped hallucinatory landscape. The transitions between tracks
are masterful and the work evokes a strange new place at each
turn. This album provides a fascinating ambient encounter. The
most challenging part is in returning to the reality the listening
experience transports us away from.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for new music from

STAR'S END Archives - The Ministry of Inside Things

The Ministry of Inside Things, features Chuck van Zyl on synths
and Art Cohen on guitar. Their music has been inspired by the
innovations of 1970s era German Cosmic/Electronic bands 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 aural contour. Owing much to improvisation,
each original performance traverses a range of sonic terrain.
Concerts conclude with the audience finding themselves to be in
quite a different mental space after experiencing the journey.

MoIT enjoys the live environment and uses it to further explore
and invent their musical styling. The duo performed live at the
first STAR'S END Donor concert on 03.19.06. Tune in this
weekend for an excerpt of the recording.
