project title: Elyria Sequence
album: SLAB

SLaB was cut together from 20 plus hours of improvisational recordings that took place over a year long period in a home studio north of Denver, CO. Using free time, samplers, drum machine, and an FM radio Elyria Sequence laid the framework for a monstrous album by connecting midi cables and sharing a tempo. Making improvisational music was something the collaborators had been doing for years and their chemistry is felt in how the debut swings from moment to moment, folding expectations back on themselves, pulling sounds apart, almost over extending their machines to self defeating proportions while still maintaining a back splash of sounds one can nod their head to. 

The resulting SLAB is a powerfully dense piece of electronic music. At times ambient and beat driven but given to manic changes. This album is an overwhelming monolith of a debut. Worthy, in the way of an ancient slab bearing unintelligible commandments, of your attention.
