Though methodical deciphering of the Lovcraft short story “The music of Eric Zann”, other related stories expanded upon Lovecraft’s Greater Cthulu Mythos they began recording free improvisation and orchestrated sound sculpture over those 25 years to create the projects now available.

REVIEWS:
“70’s era electro-technology taken to its refined limits”
– A. Fremont KFJC FM
“MAZE ABOVE THE ABYSS is a fantastic voyage through musical territories so varied and captivating, some more explored than others, but all subjective. It’s modern instrumental music that covers Progressive, Experimentation, Improvisation, Avant garde, World folk, Noise and more. Already, the monumental theme of the opening is a trip in itself. Twelve and 1/2 minutes that are introduced by the calm melody of the Hammond organ by Toby. A torrent that flows with a sound quite special in the style of the great cosmic groups of the 70’s to disembark into an exquisite instrumental paraphanalia, led by a percussive turbulence that appeared to be more favored with experimental improvisation than with rock. All is a cosmic adventure of the vangaurd without limits that hold it.”
– Paul Puleston, Nucleus (The Site of the Progressive Music) (Mar 01, 2005)
