about

In the Absence of Light: Music for Electronics & Console Guitar peels away the dull shellac of perfectionism, rejects the grid of the metronome, and dispenses with the false charms of traditional melody.

This is abstract expressionism as music.

Originally recorded as part of a 12-week YouTube video series of improvised music, the eight tracks that comprise In the Absence of Light: Music for Electronics & Console Guitar have been remastered and reconstructed as a suite of evocative, expressionistic sound paintings.

The music was created live in my home studio using MIDI-controlled virtual instruments and samples alongside effects-processed console guitar drones. It was recorded and mixed directly to a single stereo track, with all sounds routed through the mixer of an old Tascam 4-track to create a unified, lo-fi atmosphere.
