about

A retrospective album of experimental filmmaker, Arthur Cantrill’s extraordinary four decades of soundtracks, including subtly-manipulated environmental recordings and some of the earliest examples of Australian musique concrete. With liner notes by Cantrill and Warren Burt.

"A feast for the ears…Chromatic Mysteries is highly recommended and one of the best CDs of this year so far "– Vital Weekly #736

"…one of the premier, though perhaps unacknowledged, Australian avant garde musicians" – In Press #1132 (21 July 2010).
