"Beautiful new soundtrack work from Machinefabriek to accompany a film made by Mike Hoolboom using photographs taken by notorious bank robber Alvin Karpis. Filmmaker Mike Hoolboom discovered a batch of Karpis' photos for auction on eBay. He was the lucky winning bidder, and with his newly found treasure, Hoolboom began working on a film, consisting of still images, slowly dissolving one into another. Intensifying the slow, hypnotic pace and transitions, the musical score follows the three parts of the film (black and white, color, black and white) with dream-like, barely moving sonic structures. In the film (which is still in the making, working title Secret Photographs), the music will be accompanied by a voice-over and additional field recordings. On this album though, the original score is presented in its pure, unhurried form."
