while not overtly rich in sonic material, i feel that sometimes it's important to experience and enjoy the quiet. this location in the jamison valley (blue mountains, australia) is generally filled with the sounds of distant traffic from the town of katoomba and the highway that goes through it, very regular plane/helicopter fly-overs and on the weekend, thousands of tourists.
these sounds were recorded in the deepest hours of the night when all of those now almost permanent sonic imprints took a brief slumber and let the quiet of this beautiful valley softly shine.
imagine a cool, dark, humid forest in a wide, lush valley.. the sky is hidden by a sea of mist and within there is a haunting, sparse chatter.

This is a fascinating aural travelogue that really piques the imagination and engages strong sensory perceptions for me; bringing the 'inward journey' to life.
Koner brings an amazing (and surprising) range of emotions to the fore...there are so many stories being told here and more is unravelled with each listen...
I find myself unwittingly drawn back to these pieces time and again, trying to 'fill in the gaps' and enhance his aural scenarios (or "Sonic Cartography", as Koner calls it) with my own imagination.You can dwell in one location or submit to the ever-moving diaspora...
A truly absorbing and engrossing experience. John Cratchley
