As source material for these six tracks of elegant, slowly evolving music – total running time just 37 minutes, but I'm not complaining – Interval Records co-manager Ivo Govrin has chosen not only his own computer-generated sounds but also, amongst other things, Karni Postel's cello and Carmel Raz's violin. The more texturally spare offerings ("Medial", with its ever so discreet violin) and harmonically complex (microtonal) pieces ("Lateral") work best to my mind, though the reverb-drenched timestretched baroque music (hands up if you spot the source material – Bach, I think, but I'm still working on it) on "Terminal" and "Recessional" may appeal to those of you who dozed off happily to Brian Eno's torpid variations on the Pachelbel canon on Discreet Music or sank into subaquatic bliss on Gavin Bryars' Titanic. Or maybe you prefer a cooler upland climate: a moraine, Wikipedia informs us, is "any glacially formed accumulation of unconsolidated glacial debris (soil and rock) which can occur in currently glaciated and formerly glaciated regions, such as those areas acted upon by a past ice age." Not a landscape I'd associate with present-day Israel, where Govrin is based, but that shouldn't stop you enjoying the music.–DW
