With only imagination to accompany her Andrea Cichecki explores the area somewhere between the ephemeral and the eternal. The debut album DRAWN INTO THE EDGE EFFECT (38:44) provides nine tracks essentially poured directly from the musician's soul. Migrating outward through the air on waves of electronic frequencies and mysteries yet to be revealed the listener will feel enlivened by the variety of tones, textures and moods to be found moving with this music. Dramatically and emotionally rooted in a sense of beauty DRAWN INTO THE EDGE EFFECT is hushed, rushed and airy - and sure to engage well with open minds. Notes brush past one another forming chords - charging the upper regions with a sense of possibility and discovery. In swirling sonics and striking scales such lush timbres and delicate shades affirm that the heart is quicker than the ear. While chill currents descend sequencer patterns emerge amid machine modulations, sweeping us outward toward a vista of synthesized sound. Cichecki's requisite menagerie of modular synthesizers verifies an enchantment in the tension between the evocation of technology and the palpable evidence of the human touch. Connecting the heights of the creative spark to the long sigh of eternity DRAWN INTO THE EDGE EFFECT seems sent by an emissary of a future we can hope only to glimpse.
