Recorded May 17, 2019
Subtext Sound System

live improvisation for accordion and synthesizers

To make a long story short, but also, in a way, backwards- in the middle of making a dub record I made this, then threw away the dub record. As I was working on it, I read Alice Notley’s introduction to Ted Berrigan's “Sonnets,” which includes this quote from Alfred North Whitehead’s "Process and Reality": “A duration is a cross-section of the universe; it is the immediate present condition of the world at some epoch.” Notley is talking about the “Sonnets” as an expansion of time, a refraction of a moment into a long series of poems. So I started to think of this piece as a sort of inverted musical variation of that idea- as if you took a musical duration, say an Augustus Pablo record, and compressed it into a singularity of pure tone, then re-expanded it horizontally in time in totally abstracted form and color. But that was more of a conceptual methodology applied to what they call in showbiz, post. This is an improvisation. Everything you hear was played live, in real time, with no overdubbing or layering, and then processed through some of the techniques and concepts listed above.
