about

To kick-off my 33rd rotation around the sun (as well as provide a much needed kick in the ass to deplete an ever growing archive of unreleased recorded work), I'm proud to kick off the first installment of a new archival project.

Archival Symmetries 33 will see the release of 12 previously unreleased solo and collab EPs in total over the next year. Each installment will align (or at least will attempt to align) with the symmetrical date of each calendar month (sept 9, oct 10... jan 1, feb 2) from September 2015 (9/9) through August 2016 (8/8). Each edition will be available digitally through bandcamp as well as in handmade physical editions across a handsome selection of contemporary and archaic formats.

The first installment, released today, 9/9, is available digitally as well as in editions of both thirty-three cassettes and thirty-three 3"-cdrs.

The four movements of "Generosity of the Suns" were recorded over the course of a frigid New York December using a modified Sequential Circuits Pro-One and an EVI. They were recorded as an exercise in adjusting the ear to working within a series of non-octave repeating scales derived from the ratio 20:11 for the major third. Breaking each octave into ~34.2 just-tones provides intriguing harmonic options in precision intervals, especially when factoring non-repeating octave displacements (approx 7 cents loss per ascending adjacent octave)
