The parallel narratives of synthesists Paul Nagle and Peter Ruczynski converge
under the name Ideation. This duo brings to their CD project ADRIFT (58'16") the
knowledge and background of two seasoned electronic musicians enlivened by the
innovation and enthusiasm of a fresh collaboration. The movement of the seven
tracks is always towards affirmation as the music skips, drifts and rolls ever
upward - searching for a future. The patter of sequencer synchronized tones run
in near endless variations beneath sustaining pads, breathy melodies and
chirping effects. The sense is that of being on a pleasant jaunt through deep
space - a journey with no particular destination. The last three tracks play out
in a wonderful suite of sequencer art. By layering the lines of rhythm,
alternating the brightness of the timbres and pacing the introduction of
atmospheric harmonies and ethereal lead lines in interesting ways, Nagle and
Ruczynski create a propulsive work that chugs through the ether in a loose and
carefree manner.

Tune in to STAR'S END this weekend for music from UK duo Ideation and their new
CD ADRIFT
