Something about this makes me think of Canto Ostinato by Simeon ten Holt -- they're very different, but somehow feel similar.
This is deliciously unsettling.
Epic. Great artist!

Just listened to this thru your link.

Thank you very much.
Two days ago I saw her live in Dortmund, Germany. This song was the opener of a great concert.
Good Tune! I never heard of her before. Thank You RP!

As I was listening to this music start, I was just thinking that it would be great to hear her live. Hopefully she'll do a large tour of the US soon!

This is how should look a proper background music for Philip Glass's work! :D
That click sounds is so weird, like too far out of my headphones
I couldn't stop looking over my left shoulder to see who's knocking

When I heard the first few bars, at first I thought I'd been Shpongled!

Yeah, I hate it every time my office collapses in on it self and I have to pull my stapler out of the singularity.
Yes...The less is more theory of music appeals to me as well....you get the message easier.

Most of her stuff is pretty restrained, but this is almost alive, and very experimental
