editions vaché Well, as usual, Maps and Diagrams delivers a gorgeous recording- calming yet invigorating- each piece with a character all its own. Tim Diagram has had a run of three amazing releases- 'Marhofn', 'Occupying Space', and now 'A study"...sheer beauty. Have a listen, and work your way back through this trio of consciousness-expanding works.So highly recommended !! tm/ss/am Favorite track: Agium.
