Fearful Symmetry

Undercurrent

Metrically phased music for guitar and bass.
Recorded asynchronously from 2023 to 2024.
This album represents the first documentation of our collaborative Moire-patterned compositional process. We employ different levels of metric and harmonic coherence, uncovering compelling ways to create form and theme out of the interference and synchrony of independent musical thought-lines. Borrowing from minimalism, aleatoric music, and jazz, and using techniques like looping and collage, we are working to create a musical space that has a unique identity, with eclectic roots and an unusual spirit.

Cerulean consists of tight heterophonic riffs, with short sections of soloing trading off quickly between instruments through the form.

SARDINe is a hypnotic piece that uses metric mutation to transition through an intricate harmonic progression. It demands tight focus from the performers, and offers the listener meditative space.

The Order of Apparent Non-Importance uses a skeleton of short pentatonic motifs as an instigation to improvise.

Sleng Teng Fantasy careens rapidly through a series of precessing-phase sections, mercurially interposed with chromatic passagework. And some modern organum too.

The Texas Sharpshooter presents two characters: a funk inspired bass in 7/4 joined by spazz guitar in 6/8. The title refers to the harmonic structure: I totally meant to do that.

As a duo, we try to place both instruments on equal footing. In much music the bass is relegated to a supporting role, with guitar as foreground. By rejecting this traditional formulation, we open space to explore in full the roles available to both instruments.

Screams only version of 'System Failure', a disgustingly heavy 15:4 polymeter

Brace Yourself For System Failure

What started as an experiment in 17/8 turned into one of my favorite creations. Boy do I love polymeters.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.
