Small spaces may be filled easily with vivid color. Free System Projekt knows
that vast expanses must be filled by the imagination of the beholder. Their live
recording PROCYON (61'33") begins with the smallest of writhing sounds which
manages to conjure up a limitless cosmos. Entry of a melodic Mellotron flute
solo provides a sense of wandering - and as a phase-shifted synth pad duets with
Mellotron strings the music takes instant and utter possession of the listener.
Out of the building and modulating chords rises a rather commanding sequencer
pattern. Cascading tones bounce through a flow of minor key echoing cycles. With
the live audience trapped inside the tempo of the piece the musical arc extends
across the space just created. This music is about both an appreciation of sound
as well as the relationships between the sounds. The works of Free System
Projekt are something less than musical yet much more than pure free-form
experimentation. By bringing together the idea of reiteration drawn from
minimalism, concepts of sonic exploration from the avant-garde and the tone poem
form of symphonic music they realize an engaging Spacemusic as well as the
arousal of a special emotional resonance within the listener.

Please tune into STAR'S END this weekend for music from Dutch Electronic
Musicians Free System Projekt and their download album PROCYON
