Sines on Sines

 Perhaps the entire cosmos can be represented by a single sine wave modulated by an infinite number of smaller sines waves, representing everything from a galaxy's life, to the swift ups and downs of an intimate relationship, to the seasonal blooming of a meadow, to a single brain cell's messaging to another. Perhaps the entire universe is chaotically vibrating as a single wave with an inconceivable number of overtones.

Using only a bass, effects pedal, and a live recorder Side-Wise 8 could be called a master of minimalism. With these nearly "outdated" electronics, he turns his bass into a palette of sonic colors that are then mixed, matched, and juxtaposed in compositions that are reminiscent of a pop song you may have heard in a dream. The foundations of rhythm, melody, harmony, and movement are all maintained in this unique approach to composition, however the fresh context for these old ingredients give them new distinction. Despite the vividly fresh sonic palette and the almost unheard of style of live performance, Side-Wise 8 has an oddly nostalgic sound and presence that brings the listener back to a time period that never happened. The heavy percussion produced by hitting the the bass, the elegant tap of fingernails against metal, as well as the screeching distortion of the pitch-manipulated strings, all being fed into the same massive speakers throw the listener against a wall of sound bigger than a band of 100 people.
