'Temporal Parallax' ... expanding expressive dimensions in auditory spacetime.

TEMPORAL in the sense of auditory phenomena and perception.
PARALLAX - a difference in aural 'appearance' depending on the observer's perceptual position (perspective shift). 

A musical endeavor to present increasingly complex auditory multidimensionality to the receptive mind. An evolution in musical consciousness.  

A composition intended to facilitate an expanding perception of the dynamic interrelationships and interplay of micropitches and extended harmonics. All expressed as evolving aural 'shapes', 'textures' and complex emotional 'colors'.

Metaphorically, listen for a 3-D to 2-D aural 'collapse' and distinct dimensional contrast between final resolving chords.

An insight based on an analogy to the evolution of visual intelligence, within the context of painting conception/perception from flat 2-D representation to 3-D perspective. A long neglected development in aural intelligence within our visually dominant culture.

aural resolution: 106 pitches per octave (106ET)

Video performance available on YouTube. Polychromatic music score and audio file are available for download on website. Also, a reduced speed MP3 download is now available to enhance an initial awareness and perception of these expansive aural phenomena. 

Looking forward to a future possibility of capturing increasingly sophisticated polychromatic and extended harmonic (overtones) 'shapes/colors' as digital 'audio resolution' encoding/decoding technology improves in recording and audio compression formats. And also, to the possibility of rudimentary visual rendering of these dynamic multidimensional aspects of auditory perception.

Inner Alien

Samhain, (pronounced SOW-in, SAH-vin, or SAM-hayne) means "End of Summer", and is the third and final Harvest. The dark winter half of the year commences on this Sabbat. 

It is generally celebrated on October 31st, but some traditions prefer November 1st. It is one of the two "spirit-nights" each year, the other being Beltane. It is a magical interval when the mundane laws of time and space are temporarily suspended, and the Thin Veil between the worlds is lifted. Communicating with ancestors and departed loved ones is easy at this time, for they journey through this world on their way to the Summerlands. It is a time to study the Dark Mysteries and honor the Dark Mother and the Dark Father, symbolized by the Crone and her aged Consort.

A huge thanks to Una Harrison for the advice on microtone singing!  This is likely the first of many vocal experiments.  :)   HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

THE HEART

Teaser track for large-scale composition, Virtutes Occultae. 

https://taylorbrook.bandcamp.com/releases

Virtutues Occultae is an album in eighteen sections for six physically modeled virtual pianos, each with a unique tuning in an extended 11-limit just intonation.

In writing this music I used a mixture of traditional composition methods of structuring the music with various harmonies and progressions along with more free writing, collage techniques, and algorithmic composition.

The tuning of the virtual pianos extends Harry Partch’s conception of the over-tonality.

Monastery Records Presents:

"VARI-TECH VOL.1: FIRST MASS"

The first in a series of techno / house based various artist compilations.

Each artist was tasked with answering the question, "What does techno mean to you?" Naturally, we expected everyone to interpret this prompt from their own personal context and perspective, yielding a plethora of different results and vibes (all of which will make you want to move on the dance floor), whilst maintaining a consistency through out that we could only have hoped to achieve, but definitely didn't anticipate!

We've long been eager to bring this project to fruition, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome of this first installment.
