My first full-length album out today using mainly 0-Coast and Strega
Today is the day! My first full-length album is out today on bandcamp. I recorded this in mostly single takes using primarily an 0-Coast and Strega, along with an SQ-1 and Edge.
I'm hosting a live listen-through and AMA tomorrow 9/2 at 8pm EDT live on Bancamp.
"Cycle Meditation Martyr and the Double Time Effect on Entropy" marks a period of fluidity and amorphous existence for me. While experimenting with a new collection of instruments, I was listening to a great deal of Sufi Qawwali music and kept returning to a definition of rhythm: “a moment in time, repeated.” The phrasing is significant to me because it leaves intentionality ambiguous. A moment in time, repeated—is the repetition incidental or intentional?
These tracks are well suited to soundbathing intense moments of focus and concentration. Rhythms loop and cycle, but I do not find repetition mundane. It can manifest in a grey area between repeat and ritual. A loop lasts until it is ended, carrying with it an inherent anticipation of when that ending might come, and how. Slightly adjacent to the loop is the cycle, which to me suggests not symmetrical repetition, but rounds that can evolve.
