In Situ Ens. is an international electroacoustic ensemble that develops music out of the instant. The dynamic textural landscapes are evolving as In Situ Ens. In Situ Ens. exploit their wealth of unorthodox, extended playing techniques to evolve dynamic textural landscapes. A filigree multi-cellular ensemble whose sound contains as much explosive power as depth and beauty.

about the album:
A soft disturbance in which the quick rustles against the quicker and slow is held in the palm, bird awaiting its fate, its rapid pulse blurred into secondary song, steady as if holding the hand that supports it, emanating as a small sun, punctured, snapped, dusted by urgent hands, tapped by a nervous quiver. Breath exudes in cautious gusts, its steady flow tumbling hard pins, smacked and snorting alarm calls. Steel containers open and shut, steaming slippery thick with hot oil, another moment held in suspension then slipping away as blades cut across the foreground of a tight space opening out into vast and dark unknowns. In the reed bed of crying, a low deep weather spreads silence, stones clacking out their shocks into its calm settlement of all that was animated by agitation. A curious gait, the creature that walks in sideways steps, its song a seepage of other voices once exchanged, its sparsely feathered wings raised and lowered in quiet menace, the mud sucking viscous and sleepy marked with footprints of a thing only half-familiar. Others listen and throw. Sharp missiles fall from hiding or from empty skies, plunging into softness muck, swallowed so soon as to be forgotten. Dull clouds, then serration. A box rattles, moving itself, worked from all sides by blackest blue aromas of oiled springs, leaves composting into heavy mulch, trembling life singing a song only recently acquired and instantly discarded. The walls close in to a clear space, all of it close by, shape and dimensions tested by the cracking of dry paper, bursting seeds, sharp exhalation, taut wire. A nozzle spits its fluid, hands sweep and slap, from a thick tube slow balls of gum slide and spread. What happens is now and gone. Only the faint hum of dying skin cells and thin hairs remains.

Little patience in this time with the enclosures of human music. Only materials, objects, forces, movements, surfaces, touching, resonance, relations, fields, microcosms of time, small songs that sing alone but together, in spaces of imagined airs, untouchable dimensions that invite exploration by listening.
