Composer's Notes : The last few years I have become increasingly involved in some peculiar mathematical formulas called 'fractals'. These formulas used in the fast growing field of 'Chaos theory' are relatively simple but they generate fascinating and surprisingly 'organic' patterns when shown graphically on a computer screen or played as music. One should think that such a mathematical approach would lead to sterile and 'theoretical'music. The sound world of Stonewave however is not one you would associate with math books. The steady insistent pulse and the use of sequences put squarely up against each other or divided by long rests suggest aninvisible ritual. A ritual for what? Well then let it be a ritual for the exorcism of some 'evil spirits' which now ride our part of the world under the name of Liberalism making people the servants of the Market Forcesinstead of vice versa. Stonewave is therefore an incantation as it seems that only divine forces can save European culture from a political system that proclaims the Jungle Law as the guiding principle in social andcultural life.
