Sounds Like	An echo of those gorgeous late summer nights, when it finally gets cooler and you can feel a sweet breeze coming in... though do not stay out too long or some creatures might catch you... a video by Anne (Castle Films / building castles out of matchsticks) .."http://myspacetv.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=27871402">asphodel Add to My Profile \| More Videos according to the press : JULIAN COWLEY / The WIRE / February 2008 Our Moon Is Full is seductively mysterious. Immediately attractive and defiantly oblique, packed with melodic hooks, deceptive shimmering surfaces, strange words and driving industrial-strength guitars. Like the best of Lynch or Jarmusch, it blends quirky charm with noir menace, the familiar with the surreal. The imagery is arresting ; the arrangements brilliantly realised. One to return to over and over… UNCUT / UK / September 2007 This ambitious work succeeds by sounding like a David Lynch film scored by a strung-out Morricone. Chris Roberts NME (New Musical Express) / UK / September 2007 Like a grumpy Tom Waits soundtracking A Clockwork Orange, its tales of evil smoulder creepily into your brain stem.

About Strings Of Consciousness

Strings Of Consciousness has united acoustic music and digital technology. The sound of Strings Of Consciousness is meant and dreamt to be adventurous and creative. Throughout the past few years we have noticed that more and more experimentalists were expressing less and less concern for their potential listeners, forgetting to respect some structures/directions in their composition and most of all lacking humanity. Even if we sculpt and craft our music with a lot of focus on detail and days and days of editing, for us it is important to convey emotions, feelings.

Today, 14 musicians form the collective though the heart of Strings Of Consciousness is a string quartet, as its name makes clear, but it is also a direct literary reference to the "stream of consciousness", a term that was earlier in the 20th century to illustrate the flow of words echoing the narrator's thoughts. A narrative technique which is dear to the ensemble because of musical freeforms they all feel strongly about. Though we do not believe that free playing equals everyone playing at once. Grace and space are of the utmost importance.
