House Number 44 is the first volume of The Composite Moods Collection, a new cycle of Dalhous
recordings that examines the relationship between two individuals co-habiting in the same con-
fined space – their interactions, their sense of self and of each other, and the pregnant space
between. Longtime followers of Dalhous will observe that House Number 44 contains some of
their sparsest, most malevolent-sounding electronic music to date (see especially the brooding
synthesizer throb of ‘Response To Stimuli’ and ‘End Of Each Analysis’) but some of their most
disarmingly beautiful too, with indelible melodies and atmospheres as deep as thought: ‘Methods
of Élan’, ‘On A Level’, the elegiac ‘Lines To Border’.
