Label: Los Discos Enfantasmes - LDE040

Bird Showプロジェクトでの共演、また来日もしている人気の2者Ben Vida & Greg DavisのコラボLP。コンピューター、モジュールシンセによる作品で、両サイドとも催眠的な持続音に始まり後半はバキバキのエレクトロニクスが登場するという展開。レトロな音色が良き時代を思わせる高内容盤。外側のスリーヴがくり抜かれた特殊ジャケ。

Two expansive compositions in compact form evolved from sinuous convolutions
of electrical currents conducted through an intersection of Ben Vida and Greg Davis.
Recorded, assembled and mixed in Brooklyn, NY and Burlington VT from
September to June 2012, with both parties intervening on modular synthesizer
and computer.

Working Model 1 is a nodal piece, likened to a string of pearls, with each
pearl being a chamber within which a sound environment is revealed, developed
and transitioned to the next node seamlessly through gesture, rupture, and rhythm
changes. Moments of stochastic synthesis, chromatic interrupters firing, globular
pulsations, short lived melodic lines, and rhythmic arrangements keep the piece
moving and the ear engaged at the micro level. The flip side, Working Models 2
has more of an unearthly feel to it with interwoven frequencies giving way to
percussive structures, granular textures, and layers of synthesis that propel the
piece through it’s different movements.
