RELEASE May 15th 2006
With his latest album "As The Moon Draws Water" Australian artist Stefan Panczak confirms his place as a key figure in underground electronica, combining minimal beats with such diverse influences as jazz, folk and World music to create a wholly unique and organic sound. Expect to hear some sparkling, chiming and seductive electronica that's as subtle and beautiful as it is impossible to resist...
"If you're feeling rich, you should take home Tunng, and to keep it company you may want to add the Inch Time CD on Static Caravan, Tunng's former brick propped home of natural electro acoustic wonderment. 'As The Moon Draws Water' is special too. Woozy, warm, enveloping post ambient music that really does make the majority of downtempo IDM seem pretty irrelevant. You know me. I get bored really easily and get through a lot of stuff but half the time, when I really want soothing I put on 'Patashnik' by Biosphere
which is 12 years old by god. This isn't anything like as techno. But it's absolutely lovely. Almost classical folk music from Tibet or something at one point. See also Murcof (but better). Truly, this is music for the goodness of your soul."
Norman Records, May 2006
"Stefan Panzack's Inch-time project is one of the most refreshingly honest and beautiful sounds around at the moment. Having hosted a wonderful
in-store performance by him a few months back it was with a genuine sense of excitement that I cracked this full-length CD open. As I suspected, it doesn't disappoint in any way, shape or form. His grasp of melody is sublime and the way he works each track to take advantage of a welath of
influences is absolutely magnificent. He references other artists, certainly, but within the context of his own production. Floating,
drifting, melancholy and full of Eastern sounds and influences, this is music of the highest calibre and comes highly recommended. Super!"
Smallfish, May 2006
"Mixing the sharp gleam of metal percussion with the warm asperity of plucked strings, Australian producer Stefan Panczak acieves a blending of effect that's at once familiar and remarkably fresh. A digital-acoustic work of fragile brightness, this collection of ten compositions shifts mood and focus with the kind of ease that shows a great deal of attention has been paid to where every element should go. Try and tear yourself away from the alien beauties on "Almond Eyes" and "Icicles And Snowflakes" long enough to check out the tightly sequenced drum patterns on "Take Care, O Pilgrim!" and "As Far As The Eye Can See". Then go back to the start and play it all again."
