Ergo: Multitude, Solitude

The band delves into numerous jazz improvisation and subtle electronics-based offshoots via quietly changing themes and floating soundscapes. Baltazor's rumbling drums often serve as a contrapuntal effect during the temperate moments, as he also injects shades and hues with textural cymbal swashes. Sroka's moody lines elicit tension-and-release formats amid laid-back choruses, to complement the unit's generation of subtle dynamics and crashing cadenzas.

"Endlessly (multitude, solitude)" is steeped within a quaint, and well-defined vibe, as each keyboard or computer spawned riff has significance. Sroka then raises the pitch to supplement Maguire's linearly executed effects and synth patterns. Here, the musicians intimate imagery of ascending towards a zenith, then drifting into an abyss. In other regions of sound and scope, they render a few avant, crash-and-burn movements, firmly entrenched in a free-flowing improv impetus. Ergo synchs up rather nicely, as intuition plays a vital role throughout. Hence, it's an oscillating and persuasive venture into a cosmic void, where no hard and fast rules apply.
