Album Notes

With contributions from Gregory Taylor and Taylor Deupree. Extensively manipulated audio files, layered elements combined from multiple versions of shared sources, edited, reshaped envelopes and extended periods of dust collecting resulted in six pieces of minimalist process music. Layered by arbitrarily ordering differing tone clusters at differing durations articulated by differing voices Degraded Certainties uses signal reprocessing as the principal technique in determining the music’s timbre and form. Ranging in temper from the elegiac “hommage” to the steady-state “angoisse” and the referential “allotropy”, Degraded Certainties reaches past the boundaries of drone and ambient by emphasizing fuller contrasts, shifts in character and a deeply detailed soundfield.
