about

This track is the result of a one-hour improvisation recorded at my The Dark Room studio in Herne back in October 2001. Actually, this is the final track Klaus and I have recorded together ever since. I condensed the recording into fifteen minutes of spaced-out bliss which is possibly one of the strangest tracks I have ever recorded.
While Klaus was manning my Mini Moog (with Morley Power Fuzz Wah pedal) and Roland Vocoder Plus (for the occasional chordal accompaniment towards the end), I used the RMI Harmonic Synthesizer with its built-in sequencer / arpeggiator to improvise some hypnotic, interlocking Escher-like sequencer patterns in realtime. By adjusting the Harmonic sliders, the sequences seemed to permutate all the time, with their pitch and timbre shifting gradually as the track evolved. Here and there the track fades into nebulous dawn, with some spectral Rhodes and Korg Polyphonic Ensemble textures emerging from the murky twilight. Some thought it reminded them of Pierre Zalkazanov´s work, and I can quite understand why that was. The unusual trademark sound of the RMI can be heard all over his albums from "Moebius" onwards, and it really left its mark on "Cosmic Caravan", too. There´s absolutely nothing quite like it in synthesiser universe.
