| Artist appears on Between Interval Secret Observatory CD (2005)
$13.25 Whorls of sound-matter move across the wide canvas here like free-floating asteroids, encountering rushes of wind, deep rumbling bass, and the stray voices of synthesized, heavenly beings (with effects that recall, at times, certain tracks on Brian Eno's MUSIC FOR AIRPORTS). A strictly electronic outing, Jonsson eschews melody and rhythm in any form, preferring instead to traffic in the realm of deeply expressionistic ambient sonics. A superb addition to the space music canon, SECRET OBSERVATORY is the U.S. debut of Swedish electronica artist Stefan Jonsson (who goes by the cryptic handle Between Interval). Jonsson makes no effort to make his music "tranquil" and "relaxing," adjectives often used to describe a good deal of ambient electronic music.
