A list of notes about single parts on Outskirt:

01. Sigma Hydrae - It’s Outskirt’s intro, comprising a vivace drone (in comparison to those of GY!BE) growing up progressively with chorus to his theatric closing, disturbed by an elusive pianist involved in a spastic series of tryouts, searching for the right theme.

02. Møre og Romsdal - It’s a norwegian county splitted in countless fjords and isles. A glacial jazz-death metal approach seemed apt to describe this crude land,by melting Meshuggah and Mike Barr kind of outputs.

03. Reidsville, NC - It’s a post-rock song about a tiny industrial town in North Carolina.

04. Giant Star Antares - Got an early kraftwerk/krautronics taste. Electronics sounds like minimal classical instead of being a multilayered baroque pastiche of pads, it’s 5 minutes of audio travelogue about revolving around Antares, from door to door.

05. LaGuardia, 3:00 A.M. - Song result is something like Cardiacs playing be-bop in front of one of LaGuardia coffee-shops night time.
