IG Caustic track (p)2023

Every child starts out in a state of oceanic consciousness, a sea of sensation and emotion with no boundaries at all. They cannot tell themselves from their mother, or any other outside object. The ego is essentially a boundary marker, a delineator of the self from every other thing. The development of the ego over time can be thought of as the sharpening and clarifying of that boundary. As we grow into adulthood, and our ego becomes mature, most people lose the ability to contact the earlier oceanic feeling because they cannot drop the acute feeling of separateness created by the ego. They have lost the sense of oneness with everything and are stuck in their “two-ness,” as it were. Practicing meditation, doing inquiry, and other methods, constitute a path for returning to this original undifferentiated state of the mind, at least for some time.

SenSen - Desencuentros

Format: CD
Pre-order: 15th November 2024
Release date: 22nd November 2024

While playing and composing this album, I experienced a possibility: the chance to access a new space, hidden from me until that moment. A space outside of time, where at the center of darkness there is a radiant light. Each time I had the opportunity to access this space, a piece of music was born, over the course of several years. Meanwhile, I felt gratitude permeate me, the simple awareness of living life.
The Cave is that space, which belongs to all of us. The Cave is also the heart, which I felt open up. Perceiving this sensation take form was like drawing seals that attest to the truth contained within it. For this reason, La Grotta è Apertais sacred music. It is not tied to a religious tradition, but rather to the feeling of elevation it transmits when playing or listening to it. La Grotta è Aperta resonates with the rhythm of breath and heartbeat, dwellin in a timeless dimension. It is an album conceived as if it were played by a bodiless orchestra, where resonances, feedback, Tibetan bells, synths, and trumpet coexist in an electro-acoustic timbre, with intent as the only guiding coordinate.

The Cave is also that unfathomable mystery where shadow, light, death, and life are the same thing, whose threshold can be crossed in a single instant: now.

This is the full orchestral version of "Wind Vine", based around an instance of the kontakt instrument "Scene: Lotus".
All instrument tracks were recorded in one live take (separately), fully improvised and in the case of the Lotus recording, was also modulated live during the take.
Once recorded, the Lotus recording has not been modified in any way, however, the piano and other instruments have had some minor editing, the vast majority of which was removing any parts that didn't work so well, but I also made a few small time corrections or a couple of note adjustments where I hit the wrong keys here and there, but for the most part they are the original recordings. This was to be expected though, as I played my fully weighted key Oxygen 88 keyboard for the first time in a long while, compared to the Korg Micro Key I usually use (which has tiny keys as the name suggests).

The idea was to just run with it, record a single improvised take and then subtract from that take rather than add to, which is a new approach to how I usually work.

The piano used in this is the Kontakt sampled Piano instrument "The Giant"
All additional instruments used in this piece are also played via the Kontakt sampler, including: Stradvari Cello, Balinese Flutes, Bass strings section and Clarinet sfx from the Symphony Series, Hang Drum, and various instruments from the East Asia Spotlight Collection.
