Creating music as Between Interval began as a way for Stefan Strand to take a
break from his more kinetic musical pursuits. THE EDGE OF A FAIRYTALE (62'41")
is his fourth CD of futuristic mindscapes. Realized using a fascinating palette
of synthesized and sampled sounds, this album presents 11 works meant to occupy
the mind of the listener with distinctive and evocative atmospherics. With very
little in the way of melodic narrative the listener may become inattendant -
left to an unconscious structural appreciation of the music. A spare simplicity,
reduction of forms, the repetition of short musical phrases and other concepts
drawn from Minimalism helps THE EDGE OF A FAIRYTALE do more with less.
Mysterious nocturnes fill the air with vaporous drones, resonating metal and
attenuated choirs. As benthal pads saturate the soundfield into atonal
subterranean dissonance, sequencer patterns crank steadily beneath cool effects
and writhing tones. One must admire the mysterious ways in which this music
somehow reaches and reproduces that which is at our inner most being. Quieting
the mind Between Interval provokes us to reflection.

Please tune into STAR'S END this weekend for music from Swedish artist Between
Interval and his CD THE EDGE OF A FAIRYTALE
