Treading Softly
Against the
Tide
A musical journey of transformation and dialectic creation Through the frightening chaos of the infinite maelstrom, something remains...
The central thesis of this recording is the persistence of attention through transformation. Once a certain degree of will, care and intention have been put into a particular structure, this structure will carry these qualities through any series of mutations and rebirths. As the structure changes and travels from one space to another, it maintains the will that was placed within it and allows it to surface in a completely new context.All the musical pieces and soundscapes in this CD are explorations of that idea. A small sound structure (originating from a short improvisation session) is made to undergo a sequence of journeys and to inhabit alien spaces.
This CD in itself is a resting point. As the structure further mutates upon entering your ears and your consciousness, you will become a new space for the structure to explore and to further evolve. As it invades your nervous system, maybe it will transmute into a new idea, a random thought or a multidimensional vision.
Pass it on.
