The Hand, The Grid, And The Red Breeze
30' , 2021

First of two tracks of a studio album released by NCTMMRN (https://nctmmrn.com) in 2022

1. The Hand, The Grid, And The Red Breeze
2. The Hand, The Grid, And The Red Birds

The Hand, The Grid, And The Red Breeze takes as its sole material the minuscule and often imperceptible sound of an e-bow at the edge of functionality on an acoustic guitar with gradually slackening strings – amplifying its feedback interference, internal dynamics, and slow transformations.

Also A Feeling

A remote recording project with Maria Bulla (timecanvases.wixsite.com/timecanvases) and Brian Griffith (www.briangriffithmusic.com).

Separately isolated as we were due to the pandemic we decided that we would record every day for a month. Beginning in April (2020) we recorded for one minute every evening at 20:20, simply keeping in mind the fact that we were mutually engaged in this daily activity. No coordination was made beyond this simple prompt: no preconceived idea of what we would record, how it might relate to each other's recordings, nor how these would develop over the course of the month. At the end of the project, we made several versions: one which renders every day's recordings, layered together, one after the next; another which was generated with a max patch. The latter is heard here.
