about

ZYUAXOHTVIMIVTHOXAUYS, or "Inward" as I've taken to calling it in shorthand, is a nearly fifty-minute piece that was conceived while lying in bed on painkillers (recovering from some dental work) and listening to Eliane Radigue's Trilogie De La Mort. The main idea was inspired by observing the alphabet, taking stock of letters that could be mirrored to either be the same letter, or produce another letter, which is where the unspeakable title came from. A written representation of the process of moving from two sides inward, toward a central point, which is what the music itself actually does. It's a very complex setup, which is why the album comes with notes (printed with the CD-R version, a PDF with the digital version) and I even put together a primitive text-graph-map for help navigating the piece itself. What you hear, however, outside of all the concepts and setups, is a very minimal drone record. Sometimes warm and washed out, sometimes bright and metallic. Even occasionally rumbling and subterranean. Definitely a work of different phases, best experienced in a dimly lit room, lying in bed, on painkillers, while you recover from dental work...
