Thema Park is a sub division from Herbal International. One Rolando Hernández plays guitar and voice and Bryan Eubanks plays oscillators. They recorded this seventy-five minute piece last summer in Berlin. This is a very quiet work. I opened it up in an audio-editor, normalized it and even then it's very much inaudible. I am not sure why this is. When it's so quiet it's likely others will do this too, so why not make the whole thing louder? One long piece, all chopped up in smaller section, but cut as one piece on the CDR. There is lots of careful strumming and scraping, a bit of plucking the strings and all along there is a bit of oscillators neatly humming somewhere. This is quite an enjoyable release, but perhaps a very long one, although I think the longitude is part of the idea behind this. It seems to me music without commitment, without much thought, but rather a steady stream of different sounds.
