I am thrilled to have been included in this project by Robert Crouch, my remix is featured on Foxy D<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen here: Foxy Digitalis <\/a>– The full album will be released May 6th on ROOM40<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is what Foxy Digitalis has to say about my remix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The opening track on Robert Takahashi Crouch\u2019s last album, Jubilee<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, is the 19-minute \u201cA Ritual,\u201d culled from a longer, two-hour improvisational piece. For Ritual Variations<\/em>, out on May 6<\/strong> via Room40, he commissioned seven friends and artists to use the original two-hour recording as source material for further investigations and contemplations on the intimate nature of the music. The entire release is fantastic, but France Jobin\u2019s stunning 37-minute \u201cA Ritual \/ For a Daydream\u201d stands out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few artists create longform works as enveloping and engaging as Jobin. On \u201cA Ritual \/ For a Daydream,\u201d she gently pushes open the sound structures of the original to let the daylight pour in. Where Crouch\u2019s original captures a deeply personal exchange between two people, Jobin builds a world where can all find connection and communion. Glacial tones are infused with grit and stretched across delicate architecture to create gossamer sound webs that hold us close together. It\u2019s a beautiful treatise on how the most intimate aspects of sound can be building blocks for deeper, wider bonds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ritual Variations<\/em>\u00a0is available to pre-order from Room 40\u00a0HERE<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and will be released on May 6 with reworks from France Jobin, Lawrence English, Yann Novak, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

___________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My last album opens with a piece called A Ritual. I think of this piece as a somewhat aggressive, long-form meditation on intimacy and ecstasy. There\u2019s a reason I think about it like this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 19 minutes that comprise the track were taken from a much longer recording; a 2 hour improvisation I performed privately for my partner, Yann Novak. Performance is always a personal experience, even when offered communally, but this particular performance was very much about a shared moment, in an environment that foregrounded the personal. The low, undulating frequencies in the piece underscore a sense of the physical for me. I\u2019d like to think it\u2019s a work that dwells on upon the vibrational qualities of sound, and offers a respite within its mesh of rich harmonics, pushing a listener towards the ecstatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Ritual Variations, I reached out to friends and artists whose work I respect and admire for various reasons. I gave these seven artists, including my partner, access to the original 2 hour recording and invited them to create new compositions using it as source material. It was a chance for them to also consider the private, intimate nature of the recording itself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
