Clutter releases a special give away through his favourite net label Electronic Musik to celebrate the coming of 2012 - The year when linear time stops, when The End Times begin etc, etc.... Not sure if I believe in any of it but it does make you think about time and what it all means, or not, but I thought it might be fun to do some music that is about time. The starting point is to jump unashamedly on the extreme slow-mo bandwagon and see what that throws up....I came up with the following:...
