"Enclosure: Wave Ramp" is side B of their debut LP, available on Important Records. Buy here: http://importantrecords.com/imprec/imprec384

Pitreleh use high resolution analog and digital tools to create music utilizing natural vibrations and harmonics as rhythm and melody. Inspiration is drawn directly from vibrational waves (sound, gravity, water).

The electronics, of which both pieces are constructed, are tuned using pure intonation which utilizes the prime numbers: 1-3-5-7.


PITRELEH - ENCLOSURE: WAVE RAMP (excerpt)

DUANE PITRE is an American experimental composer and musician. His work often focuses on the interaction between electronic sound and acoustic instrumentation and also explores the balance between chaos and discipline. Pitre utilizes alternate tuning schemes (with a large focus on Just Intonation), enabling him to explore unaccustomed musical intervals. He works in a solo/ensemble capacity and with Turk Dietrich (Second Woman, Belong) as the duo First Tone.

He has presented and performed his live works across the U.S., U.K., and Europe at spaces such as Cafe OTO (UK), Roulette (NYC), The Stone (NYC), Muziekhuis Utrecht (NL), MoMA's P.S.1 (NYC), The Cube (UK), GRIM (FR), NK (DE), Elaine Gallery (CH), O' (IT), St. Ann's Cathedral (NYC), and ISSUE Project Room (NYC), where he was artist in residency in spring 2009. More than 100 different musicians from around the world have taken part in the performances of his works.

Pitre has been featured in publications such as The Wire, The Village Voice, The New York Times, The Creators Project  (a Vice/Intel collaboration), Pitchfork, Dusted, Skug: Journal for Music (Austria), and NewMusicBox. He has released over a dozen albums on labels such as Important Records, Type Records, and Root Strata.

「自分はまだまだスキルや経験としては非常に未熟です。本当はこんなものを世に放ったところで、それを聴いて良いと思ってくれる人なんて居ないかもしれません。表現せずにはいられないという極めて強い思いが、そのまま音となって出てきたような作品達。自分のそのときの最善を尽くしているつもりですが、それが世の中で面白いと思われるとは限りません。
自分が今まで聴いて良いと思ってきた作品のように、何か感動するものを作りたいだけなのですが、とても難しいと感じています。2023/8/10」
