"Resonator" accentuates the resonant qualities of Hypercube's instrumentation, accumulating a cloud of droning overtones above a fast and rhythmic quartet. While much of my music consists of long-form unfolding processes, this music is full of abrupt interruptions, inspired by Tony Conrad's essay "A Few Remarks Before I Begin": "Attention needs guideposts for focus. Exploration of alternative attentiveness is a valuable cultural commodity."

HYPERCUBE is:
Chris Graham: percussion
Andrea Lodge: piano
Erin Rogers: saxophone
Jay Sorce: guitar

Heavily involved as an improviser, his music is often characterized by a deeply physical performance practice juxtaposed with rich drone textures.
