Γ Ζ Ξ И ⅁ - Phase Angel 
DETROIT UNDERGROUND

The name of the album plays with on words and meanings. The correlation between an angel and an angle seems to be external , but the gap between them is not bigger than the difference between a wave and a particle in quantum mechanics.
It is known that the phase angle is the angle between the light falling on the observed object and the light reflected from the object, received by the observer. The origin of this light is a matter of speculation or belief, as well as the origin of human consciousness.

The "Phase Angel" is a metaphorical figure, responsible for the relation between intension and current, fall and reflection, movement and observation. 
This album is a story about the path and the search for meaning. What is the nature of consciousness? Are all our properties and actions spelled out by a global program code? Is our world virtual, by the way? May we be biorobots? Being confused by these questions, the mind continues its expansion, simultaneously with the whole universe, listening carefully to the stars with such a romantic longing as if it is the longing for homesickness. 
The album can definitely be called optimistic and equally disturbing, as we are at the same time, filled with both hope and uncertainty in the experiments of quantum physics.
These ideas were very delicately felt by a talented media artist Mike Iv . It is difficult to imagine a more accurate, relevant and excellent implementation of them than his video to one of the tracks of the album.
As for sound, the flesh of the album is, of course, phase shifts, multi-layered rhythms, an iron choir of electrical devices, their songs, their noise distortions under my close observation. )

Raft of Trash is a generative music project exploring the sounds of systems using the natural rhythms of environmental dialogue in the world-building game SimCity 3000. It is a collaboration between sound artists/musicians Andrew PM Hunt (aka Dialect) and JC Leisure, and designer Thom Isom.  

Like the group’s early EPs, their debut album Likeness on the Edge of Town showcases the breadth of possibilities emerging from their unique process. Whilst playing SimCity 3000, the in-built sound effects of the game are converted and repurposed into MIDI data which is then fed to Hunt and Leisure's synths and samplers in real time. The resulting soundscape, imprinted with the dynamics of a simulated environment, is then augmented with live guitar, spoken word and field recordings to create an uncanny collage of wild synthesis, experimental narrative and bending, viscous guitar.  

Inspired by Fluxus artist Alison Knowles, the spoken word passages sprinkled across the record act as part travel journal, part system theory field guide as “someone guiding you through the simulated desert landscape, and through some kind of inner journey”. Exploring for instance the connections between the irregularities we discover in our functioning bodies and the impact of environmental influences or describing the fullness of the reality of stopping at a truck stop, these passages are an illuminating exploration of the complexity of living systems and real-life situations. Subtle musical references to Americana and sounds sourced from the desert around Joshua Tree contribute to a journey-like mood throughout the record. 

Musically, the record remains in largely abstract territory. Synths sprawl, crawl and fly above a sonic bed of creaks, ripples and bleeps; nothing is at it seems. This ambiguous relationship between the organic and the synthetic further highlights the themes explored by the group.  

Releasing in full on November 20 2020, as a limited edition poster and as digital files.

As you can imagine we are under huge pressure at the moment and are working flat out to ensure Cafe OTO survives this. The impact of this situation is extremely acute for small venues like ours and we need all the support we can get to pull through. Please donate what you can, if you can. Thank you. 

Cafe OTO opened in April 2008 with the aim of providing a home for creative new music that exists outside of the mainstream. It comprises one large cafe/performance space open during the day serving food and drink with an evening programme of live music almost seven nights a week. 

OTOROKU is part of OTOProjects - a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that has been set up to manage the programme at Café Oto. Any profits from OTOROKU are put back into supporting what we do and will help us to continue programming the best musicians and performers from all over the world.
