chillbase.org review:

"A prophetic release of music that sets new boundaries in Electro-acoustic manipulations. Waves of melancholic beauty splashing, penetrating into the listener's soul, reviving something hopeful that was asleep for a while.

As described in the press-release on the Fluid Audio website,the music here captures the vibes and feel of some natural phenomenons and spectacles, the beauty of various landscapes and some personal moments of magic.( sometimes during watching the landscapes or spectacles ) Ambient tales with modern classical flavours dipped in soft and sometimes glitchy electronica.

Subtle cinematic glow is floating gracefully within the compositions,giving them an epic feel. Christoph Berg aka Field Rotation is a composer,producer and also a violinist and pianist from Germany with a very unique and futuristic sound and style. Christoph's electronic fabrics are delicate and fragile yet powerful and dramatic and when he blends them with his emotional playing on the acoustic instruments he creates a mesmerizing listening experience.

The core of this release is based mostly on electronic fibers but the acoustics are flowing smoothly in and out every now and then like a spell.

This is the future of Electro-acoustic from a rising star which is one of the most talented and creative artists in this growing movement of music and also from a fresh record label with a team that puts a lot of love in everything they do.

The quality of the production and of the performance here is absolutely excellent and simply intensifies the beauty of the compositions, warm and crisp in the right places and cold and elusive when necessary thanks to Christoph's stunning style of playing,playing techniques and his production skills. He really knows how to translate atmospheres and emotions into music with a really sensitive way of playing the instruments,an interesting way of manipulating sounds and fantastic programming. The theme of light and shadow is sensed during the whole journey.

A great mastering job from Vincent Villuis and Christoph himself give this release it's final touch on the music aspect,making it a high quality audio product."
