Galaxy Express 555 is under glass by Christopher Farstad with some guests; big shuddering waves of Digi-Synth Work that break apart slowly into compositions of great subtlety and photographic depth. The title is a reference to the famous work on photography by Vilem Flusser: "The photographer’s gesture as the search for a viewpoint onto a scene takes place within the possibilities offered by the apparatus. The photographer moves within specific categories of space and time regarding the scene: proximity and distance, bird- and worm’s-eye views, frontal- and side-views, short or long exposures, etc. The Gestalt of space–time surrounding the scene is prefigured for the photographer by the categories of his camera. These categories are an a priori for him. He must ‘decide’ within them: he must press the trigger."
