| | | tusco/embassy (usa) #te41 lp nautical almanac “melding linearality” long playing record | july 2009 release ; amazing art-object lineage lp from twig & carly (plus mat brinkmann & jungil hong) presented as a feat both of musical enlightenment (you have to admit, as much as the younger people try, there’s just no way to straight ape the kind(s) of circuit-bent grankle that these guys have up to for the last odd-decade) and one of record mastering (the a-side, at least, is cut in such a way that your record needle will be in a constant state of flux, bouncing around from groove to groove, playing forwards & backwards, picking up little bits of music and surface noise before repeating back on itself ; don’t think i’ve ever seen / heard anything quite like it !!!) ...
i can already feel time/space melting around me ; highly recommended !!! |

"this record plays differently every instance it is played. you must give back." - t.h.
>> tesseract is a four dimensional analog of the 3 dimensional cube. the klein bottle is a 3rd to 4th dimensional analog of the mobius strip. this record bridges the levels between space and time. of course all recordings deal with space and time, and all objects have the inherent power to communicate any concept imaginable. nonetheless, this record has been specifically designed for the purpose of revealing and recieving input from you, it is an interactive medium. many years of research and careful steps were taken to assure that this is the most effective process availble at this moment. to use it simply start as you would with any normal 33 rpm record i.e. put needle on object, the object makes music, and then you will see what this record gives back to you. enjoy.
>> the process of producing this object was multi-tiered. first, source music was layered from different sessions and each session was in turn selectively mixed to the musicians, and re-recorded. this method is very effective in shifting from the self/sub/group-awareness to focusing on the no-mind/voice-of-god/ meta levels of creation. these sessions then were heavily mixed again and the grooves were cut directly on recording laquer master discs. the cutting process was done using very large waveforms on non-linear pitch feed paths so the grooves weave in and out, create multiple choice locked grooves, hidden sections, move inside/out, and floating on the edge styles. the grooves on the record disc require the person (thats you) to have interactions with them. this record plays diffeerently every instance it is played. you must give back, you are now creating with us all, by practicing a sharpening of the calming of focus anyone can become a master at shifting dynamics of living. each time you engage with this process let images in your mind flow along with the music; such as a smooth pebble in a calm river, the turning of a washing machine, a bag floating in the wind. as you enter this record, you must clear your mind of expectations: those approaching it with no-mind and unhinged will can unlock the secrets of the unfiltered cosmos. the object at hand is spiral; embedded within are valleys and canyons of mind formations, the two sides pushed the black globe into a discus, it moves but goes nowhere. the arm to listen to the vibration codes is yours, as you interact with this moving circle inside the listening altar, your listening arm decodes the process. this object is. as you are is.
nautical almanac on this record is: carly ptak, twig harper, mat brinkman, jungil hong, and you. recorded 1999-2006 random locations, winter 2006, providence, fall 2007 baltimore. final mix and cut by twig harper spring 2008, baltimore. |
