DESCRIPTION:
...appears on the album Welcome Tourist.
"Take Your Time". The title's invitation adresses both musicians and listeners, of whom the latter has to apply another way of listening different to what he's used to while listening to three minute pop songs. This piece relates to the album's title "Welcome Tourist" as "Take Your Time" presents itself as a perfectly dramatised journey, a radio play almost without words (and it also features lots of those found sounds Bernhard picked up while traveling). The individual voices/instruments work as allegoric figures representing modes and atmospheres which automaically trigger images. The arrangement delicately treats those instruments as recurring motifs, some work together, some against each other. And others again appear as variations of themselves, reinterpreting what already has been "said" and thus developing the plot towards its end. All of this creates a special magnetism that helps to maintain the tension holds the listener captive throughout the entirety of "Take Your Time".
