Kaleidophonica, like Lightbox, was recorded live in the studio with no overdubs. It is more densely composed than Lightbox - the mesh and interplay between the instruments has been developed to create the "halls of mirrors" where the sound is made up of parts that are so enmeshed you can't hear who's playing what, creating a bigger, almost orchestral, sound. The music is composed using a combination of playing, imagination, and use of systems. The arrangements are constructed like an intricate piece of machinery, wound up and played out - with no ornamentation, no vibrato. Most of the tracks are completely original compositions, with a handful based on traditional folk tunes. Kaleidophonica is an album of extremes - where chilled tracks, sit alongside some more intense acoustic dance music. Sprio's music is moving, exciting, and transporting - a musical illusion that it is much more than the sum of it's parts, and which gets off the ground and almost takes flight.
