A mesmerising musical experience

"Listening to Scalar Fields, Kastning Sigfried's newest CD, is a sonically exquisite experience. The recording quality is superb; crisp and resonant, with the tone of the deep, rich baritone the aural equivalent to the finest quality dark chocolate. The
interplay between the unusual complement of instruments; the nylon stringed fretless classical guitar, the first ever, custom built, extended baritone and the rarely used acoustic 12-string creates an environment of encompassing warmth. The pieces are intricate, medtiative and soothing but certainly not "background" music. This outing is a follow up to the terrific Bichromial, and if anything, surpasses the level of excellence achieved in that recording."
Yet another great peice of work from this duo

"I have been listening to the lilting sounds of Kastning/Seigfried for many years now and prefer it served via headphones whilst sitting in the garden with a glass of red wine, but also, as a painter and illustrator I find it my first choice to play in the background as I tend to my work. While Book of Days remains my all time favourite, Scalar Feilds has a little more colour than previous works. Bichromial seems to come from the depths of the molecular, Scalar Fields, as the title and the cover suggest, luanches itself skyward and beyond. I highly reccomend any of this duo's work to everyone as Kastning/Seigfried never fail to provide an albums worth of relief from the fast paced world we live in"
