"SPACETIME ADVENTURES"
Outline Records
Gruberski surprises us with this work due to its freshness and simplicity, without implying commerciality or simple ideas. "Spacetime Adventures" is punctuated with melodies that have their sounds altered, especially with delaying effects, throughout the same theme, as well as the excellent insertion of complete or partial silences from which the piece acquires new shades. The use of string sounds dominates the track, though these are always supported on lines of bass and sequences, at times obscure, at other times with a great luminosity. Perhaps the less brilliant point is percussion, even though it reaches a high degree of ellaboration in "Motion Diameter", where its conjunction with the bass is practically perfect. This is, in fact, a work that reminds us, in more than one passage, of the Jarre of the seventies, where the themes not exceedengly long and perfectly structured by means of transitions formed a conceptual whole whose parts one could also enjoy separately.
