Adrien Rhodes comments about his latest work with Rec.tangle and the debut album, "Heavy Maple", claiming it exists as a "soundtrack to a late night documentary on sea turtles". His use of synthesizer, sitar, zither and harp, amongst a range of instruments that make this new work wholly departed from Topo Gigio, relates to Sven Libaek's work on the Life Aquatic soundtrack, where a playful and ambient sound exists with romantic and almost idealistic use of percussion. Rec.tangle similarly feels like a voyage, and one with an 'enterprised' aesthetic of discovery. Beautifully minimal, abstract synthesizer on 'Seaharp' whirls, picking up drums, guitar, percussion and strings and writhing instrumental layers expand into vast soundscapes.Have a listen: www.myspace.com/rectangularmusic
