"Kirschner is the master of snow music, the Rotkho of sound." - Vital Weekly

A subdued chord, and a subsequent quiet. A hovering drone, followed by a compelling absence of sound. True to its title, Filaments & Voids is comprised predominantly by one or the other: by carefully constructed audio of lingering delicacy or by singular silences of ambiguous depth. Over the course of two discs and nearly two and a half hours of music, composer Kenneth Kirschner focuses the listener’s attention on the silence inherent in his sounds, and the sounds implicit in silence. Like the night sky evoked by the album’s title, the music heard on Filaments & Voids is a broad and dark space inhabited by dispersed and luminous materials.

Filaments & Voids is a 2-CD collection of Kenneth Kirschner’s music featuring liner notes by Disquiet.com’s Marc Weidenbaum and photography by Taylor Deupree.
