This CD from 2007 features 68 minutes of pleasant electronic music.
Airy electronic textures are punctuated by denser (but still soothing) synthetic embellishments that establish a infectious mood of serene introspection. The ambience becomes tinged with livelier melodies that retain a gentility even when snappy e-perc enters the mix. These shimmering tonalities generate a lavish and expansive panorama of relaxing disposition. This foundation frequently hosts meticulously twinkling keyboard passages which serve to vivify the harmonic flow with engaging melodies.
While the majority of this tuneage is mild and pleasant, an undercurrent of restrained intensity surfaces periodically, as bass tones possessing an orchestral flair evoke a heavier-than-air atmospheric layer that floats amid the overall serenity. There are also instances when the tunes move beyond their tranquillity and adopt an inspired edge of puissance.
A few tracks features percussion, functioning as injections of strident pep to the music’s pacific temperament.
The compositions are crystalline and delicate. Unlike most ambient releases, this music is rich with bewitching melodies of suitable complexity. These melodies are compelling without being unduly distracting. Their appeal lies in their beatific gentle nature, but they exhibit a tasty sprightliness.

Numerus Fixus = Latin and means in English: Limited Places.
As we see the world as it is now today with more than 6 billion people I ask myself at times: can we keep on living our lives with less land, less water, less healthy air and fewer new resources with an ever growing worldly population? One of the predictions is that complex, interlinked ecosystems - (rain)forests, reefs, lakes, rivers, oceans and their food webs could collapse within a couple of decades from now if we continue like this. This album is dedicated to those interlinked ecosystems on which we are using every day and becoming more limited in period of time.
The music takes us somewhere between Ron Boots, Klaus Schulzes Mirage, Space and Jarre.
But also more nice melodies come up with gentle rhythms.

With this album, René delivers some very pleasant music whose main characteristic is freshness. This cd has a cheerful tone to it that makes it a worthy acquisition for all EM lovers who don’t want to only listen to ominous landscapes and menacing drones. There are some thoughtful moments as well, of course, but always with a certain lightness that makes for a listen as nice as a walk in the park on a bright morning.
And part five is just beautiful. Listen to it while sitting on your porch and looking at the meadows (or imagining to), and catch a breath of fresh air.

The idea of releasing this work lies in the fact that Rene really enjoyed recording this music and it would be a pity not to do anything with it. The music is in the style of Pro Sequentia. It's not retro, it's not dance or trance or meditative music, it's a mixture of all these elements with the presence of melody and rhythm and the Grandmasters of EM in mind. The only meaning of music to Rene is to relax and overall to recreate in a way the listener likes.
