"this album is perhaps my first truly 'experimental' work in years. my recent releases, though sonically abstract, have always been rather carefully composed; 'skein,' on the other hand, was borne out of a series of deliberately unpredictable experiments in virtual modular synthesis. i used a completely new setup, shunning the comfort of my usual DAW and instead building a series of patches which let me directly feel around with different frequencies to see how they'd interact with each other. the resulting pieces, presented here, are the fruits of this process, and they remain exactly as they arose (with no edits, cuts or overdubs). furthermore, the music, album art and track titles are derived from the many things that I've found inspiring recently: salerno, berlin, the films of alice rohrwacher, don delillo's 'libra,' alasdair gray's '1982, janine,' keiji haino, and the lives of the celtic saints.
i present 'skein' to you, above all, as a way of claiming that i am still here. much love to everyone."
