Leitfossilien (2005) I am not sure if the demo I referred to when I reviewed Cria Cuervos 'Immanence' in Vital Weekly 423, found it's way to Mystery Sea, but it might very well be. Cria Cuervos returns to that first release with this new work 'Leitfossilien': that of deep ambient music. In one, thirty-three minute track, he depicts an obscure cloud of sound that moves throughout the piece from dark to light. It's like a stroke of paint: filled with paint at the beginning and slowly, when putting the paint on paper, the paint disappears. Something similar happens with this music. It starts out in total darkness and ends in total light. Not that it is all that minimal of course, things move in and out, there is even a slight touch of rhythm here and there. It's hard to tell what Cuervos is using here, soundwise, but I am sure it's a whole bunch of software synthesizers and time stretching on probably the simplest of sounds. Not that it really matters of course, the result is what counts, at least to me. And that is fine enough! Frans
