In Tension There Is A Bliss was composed for the Black Room project at the Kolonia Artystów in Gdańsk (Poland) where it was presented in a black space, with soundproofed walls, on a quadraphonic audial system adapted to give the viewer a sense of being in the sound.

Nice! There's some randomness, like incomplete patterns trying to reach a Pattern. This recursive ambivalence turns out to be relaxing in it's chaotic and twisted nature. sjah83
