Seriously, it sounds like a whole lot of old machinery - valves letting off steam and gears turning and so on - transformed into an atmospheric backdrop. That curious combination of ambient and intriguing.

I mentioned Stephen Vitiello about 3 years ago, when I linked to a free duet with Deep Listening pioneer and accordionist Pauline Oliveros.
