A Desperate Serenity

"These musicians have achieved a careful blend
of melody, atmosphere and mystery. An unusual
an disquieting release, beyond ambient. . .
for those with a taste for something different.”
— Audion [UK]

"...Story and Ashley collectively showcase fourteen
tone poems that alternate between exercise in
dramatic tension and ruminative, haunting shards
of picaresque beauty. The manipulation of sounds
vary greatly, from echoed acoustic pianos, to
shimmering tape loops and discreet electronics
often subtly altered, processed or enhanced as
they evoke their conflicting, shifting moods. . .
the two instrumentalists make stunning music
of a perfect pair." — i/e [USA]

"A Desperate Serenity is a superb work of
innovative electronic music. The 14 pieces
oscillate between futurism and beauty. . .”
— Sintetizando [Spain]

"This duo from Ohio has created a soundscape
work that is among the best we’ve heard at
Marginal in a while. Ashley/Story are able to
swing from the sincerely beautiful to the
haunting and discordant without the cliches
that most others use.”ó Marginal [Canada]
