Stephen Illius is making something natural & communicative... This 5 Track EP aptly titled Pause may take you on an inter-universe journey... In a world full of high-paced drama, it's important to breathe... To reflect... Are there others out there? Is there something more going on? The thoughts that I certainly feel while listening... But also reflecting on the self and how we relate to it all... How we connect, & perhaps how we don't... Pause, Mote, Drift & Shared Space are all really well united and feel as though they coexist together... The sounds are rich and there is never a dull moment as we delve into a mindful journey. Standing on the Sidelines is perhaps a hopeful piece providing a warmth of harmonies and a more familiar structure. The beautiful Cover Photo is by accomplished Photographer Cristina Jimenez Rey... Her work can be seen here: www cristinajimenezrey com She has recently joined the Mind Field Crew to offer her very fitting creative skills :) Canadian born, Stephen Illius has released on Manual Music, Subeast and now Mind Field Records... A sign of things to come perhaps and for sure a welcome Pause in the normal dance routine... All Tracks Mastered by Zeitgeist Mastering Studios, Berlin.
