From the happy hunting ground of Christina Bell:

The dogma of slowing right down is at the root of the symphonic revelation that is Hobo Cubes’ Francesco de Gallo’s recent work. The new sound is an experiment in deliberate unhurriedness. Inspired by artistic connections, de Gallo paired up with Edmonton’s Taiwan to release a 12” split. Things that are independently constructed can merge together in magical ways. Fully succumbing to the wayward spirit of collaboration, the 12” released by Toronto’s Pleasence Records demonstrates physical proof of this phenomenon in the fluid conjoining of artists — but also in Hobo Cubes’ approach to his contribution. Through the involved process of collaging, deconstructing and layering, intricate soundscapes emerged. And although this variegated sound occupies a world of its own, we indulgently explored the nexus of “stuff” that contributed. Align your senses. Listen to this track while you float through these gorgeous photos.
