Rrose (Sandwell District, Eaux, Stroboscopic Artefacts) has found her own niche in the American techno underground. Her hypnotic tracks incorporate ideas from ambient and minimalist music as prominently as they do the history of dance music, operating in the same fruitful cross-section between techno and the abstract as many other Further Records releases. Rrose's debt to experimental music has never been more obvious than on September 20, 2012, when he performed legendary composer and electronic/computer music pioneer James Tenney's Having Never Written a Note for Percussion live in Washington, DC. The simple yet colossal piece requires the performer to play one percussive instrument constantly, taking it from the quietest point to the loudest and back again. Done well, it's a fascinating exploration of tone, volume, and decay, and a showcase for drone music's unusually transportive powers. Never Having Written a Note for Percussion has always been a personal favorite of Rrose's. He was inspired to try it out after touring Dupont Undergound, a performance space in a disused trolley tunnel beneath downtown DC, where the possibilities of "seemingly endless and unpredictable reverberations" seemed perfect for Tenney's composition. He made a 32-inch gong played with two mallets the central device of his performance, creating a towering leviathan of sound capable of the softest highs and the deepest lows. It's a vastness that comes across especially well on the live recording of that 2012 performance, a breathtaking 30 minutes that seems daunting at first but moves with a grace as easy as breathing. Rrose's take is almost definitive: not only does he stretch out the piece to 30 minutes beyond it's usual eight-to-12-minute duration, but, even more importantly, she offers two versions made in two very different settings. The A-side features a performance recorded in a studio during his practice sessions. Dry and mic'd up close, it's almost stuffy quality is the direct opposite of the live version, like it's coming from inside your head, where the live recording on the B-side surrounds you with the booming sound of the gong. Never Having Written a Note for Percussion is a powerful study not only in minimalist composition but the importance of the room and environment that a performance, or just pure sound, takes place in, and a potent example of the kind of experimental tendencies that make Rrose one of techno's more fascinating figures. Mastered by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering.

Beautiful but…
Size: 48in, Color: 3tier
I have bought a half dozen of these shelves over the years and installed them in my own home and family members homes. They are beautiful once they are up. The quality of the pipe and wood are great, heavy duty. BUT Somehow I seem to forget that the installation is a complete nightmare-borderline not worth it. The pipe never likes to line up properly and when it does it’s just not tight leaving the whole thing feeling wobbly. Once installed it is very beautiful and sturdy. The other part I also seem to forget is that the anchors are complete and utter crap! Save yourself the frustration and TOSS THEM immediately. Its a huge waste of time attempting to use them and your so pissed off by the time you realize it that you almost don’t even want the shelf anymore😂 In summary- Beautiful, quality shelf but buy your own anchors and round up you patience prior to install.

I like to have a three-dimensional wall shelf at home. I can display plants, photos and other items well. It is great. I haven't taken care of it yet. I need to put more beautiful items. Oh, by the way, it is of good quality. It is a little heavy. The merchant provides expansion screws for hanging it on the wall. It is also very simple to assemble... I am very satisfied with the effect and I like it very much.

Great Accent Piece
Size: 48in, Color: 3tier
Industrial looking with wide shelf space. We were looking for a functional accent piece that we can also put things on. This new addition has been more than perfect. It provides a rustic feel and it has the industrial bars that holds the shelves which is the best. Very sturdy, please make sure to assemble on studs this piece is heavy. It looks really good in our living area.
