New Zealand artist Paul Amlehn in collaboration with
English musician Robert Fripp.

The sound art project consists of three compositions of spoken word by Paul Amlehn and soundscapes by Fripp:

1. Untitled / Queer Space Symmetrical

2. Kriya / At the End of Time

3. Ophiuchus Improvisation / Queer Reflection Harmonic Minor.

Fripp's soundscapes were improvised live and digitally recorded to hard disc,
then sent to the other side of the world to Amlehn who re-recorded the
works to 2-inch analogue tape, adding accompanying vocals to the
music. The aim of the process was to achieve a powerful synthesis of
voice and soundscapes, one which functions on both conscious and
unconscious levels in the audient. The resulting compositions are
evocative, moving, and disquieting, giving birth to the multiple
worlds that are contained within the self.
