Rail Dynamics is a multi-movement work for string trio and fixed media inspired by a defunct rail  line outside of Santa Fe, New Mexico. Across its ten movements, Rail Dynamics explores the  soundscapes of the northern New Mexican landscape while navigating the cultural and environmental  impact of the rail in the Galisteo Basin, ultimately meditating on the slow deterioration of the  rail line and the surrounding landscape's gradual reclamation of its previously inhabited spaces.  Intertwined among these explorations are images surrounding a car accident I was in as a child that  involved a collision with a train. The accident had long faded into distant memory when I first  encountered the abandoned rail while exploring the desert, but it still haunted me on a daily basis  (survivor's guilt, nightmares, seemingly random associations). Being by the rail and in the deep quiet  that characterizes so much of northern New Mexico's landscapes, however, helped me to recontextualize  my experience and facilitated my recovery; the slow dissolution of the rail into the high desert soil seemed  to mirror the gradual vanishing of the scars on my face, and in a strange way I found a deep kinship with  the basin, what remained of the rail, and their deeply nuanced relationship.  This piece is dedicated to my father, who, for weeks following the accident, would fall asleep at the foot  of my hospital bed without mattress or pillow so I would not be there by myself.  ( Rail Dynamics takes its name from a ground-breaking set of mid-century field recordings of  locomotives in New York, championed today by the Smithsonian Folkways. The original Rail Dynamics  can be found here: https://folkways.si.edu/rail-dynamics/sounds/album/smithsonian as well as on Spotify  and YouTube).  This work was premiered at The TANK Center for the Sonic Arts on September 22, 2024. The TANK  is well known for its uniquely intense acoustic resonance, in which sounds can last up to 50 seconds  before fading away.

Pain Libération with Sense Fracture - 15 Décembre 2020

I Am Very Happy Knowing Someday I Will Die "Underworld (House Of Sleeping Beauties)"

Presented as a re-creation of two live sets performed in 2019, Patrick Gallagher deftly melds field recordings, a "fairly standard" synthesis toolkit, and prepared electric guitar into two peerless electro-acoustic compositions comprising his debut for the enmossed x psychic liberation (ENXPL) series.

As the album's title implies, "Set In the Bardo" embraces indeterminacy in all respects. An extreme range of timbral variety and complexity is employed, from pure sine waves to nearly-incomprehensible sonic blasts. With a formal education in mathematics, Gallagher's astute arrangements modulate between smooth glissendos and abrupt interruptions, reflecting the compositional process used: salvaging hitherto-abandoned recordings and live snippets from the artist's archive. Post-processing was eschewed on the album in order to preserve the improvisatory nature of a live performance, giving an organic quality to the album which is often lost in academic compositions.

While "Set In the Bardo" was created in pre-pandemic times, it also functions well at this particular juncture of history. We have been 'set in the bardo' ourselves, and Gallagher has made an engrossing set of pieces - encapsulating and unfolding sonic uncertainties as we venture through trying times. Well worth many listening sessions; high volume and high fidelity during playback are recommended.
