after their successful ep collapsed (r-n116) the bristol based project strikes back with a full length album on raster-noton. once more james ginzburg & paul purgas challenge the perceptual boundaries between noise and music and the potential for both technology and architecture to embed and codify themselves within sound.

recur is presented as emptyset’s third studio album, continuing on from their work with demiurge. the material examines the central themes of time, structure and recursion, through the analysis of scale and the interaction of both formal and fractured sonics. the album furthers the project’s exploration of rhythm, dislocation and feedback within the framework of full frequency sound, structural abstraction and analogue processing. the work examines how notions of time interact with both experience and form, and the resulting modes through which this affects sound through compression and rarefaction and the forcing of signal thresholds to their critical point.

recur is also available as cd ( r-n151), 12" vinyl (r-n151-2) and limited edition of 180 gr heavy vinyl + cd + art print signed by the artists (r-n151-3).

SOUND DESIGNER AND COMPOSER-My style and approach to creating sound: i approach my compositions using instruments and items such as glass, engines, keys and drills and mix these sounds in with violins, guitars and piano. i also alter voices and field sounds to generate an intense effect. My specialities are within dramatic classical pieces and avant-garde music. I can also compose more conventional sounding music for projects that may require a major melodic melody. Influences range from; Cage, Shostakovich and Stravinsky to more modern composers such as Hans, Mansell and Lynch.

 Skills: Writing and arrangement of original music and scores • Experience of playing and writing for studio and live sound • Portfolio of original material suited towards a wide variety of concepts and styles. • An understanding of music analysis • Strong ability for melody and arrangement • 20 years of experience in composition.
