about

No modular synthesizers were used in the making of this release.
Instead I dug in the virtual crates (my hard drive) for sound sources. Not just samples but software instruments and midi patterns, wherever they might be lurking in the canyons of files and folders. This release might have once been called "eclectic" but I've decided to be more aggressively PoMo. If something's not supposed to go together, it went together. At the same time, formally speaking, the tunes push further backward into the 20th Century chamber music realm. It's not atonal (pretty much the opposite) but more like the music recovering serialists make. These could all be midi sketches awaiting live players but we know that's never going to happen. Computer acoustics remain the vocabulary.

about

Tom Moody New York, New York

"The sound world [in Melding Principle] is very finely calibrated; your ear for pairing the very pure and the klangorous has become remarkably deft. That makes it easy for the listener to latch onto the layered melodies. (Howl Din)

"[Y]our musical works exploit the aesthetic paradoxes of telecommunications and computer technologies and the social fantasies attached to them."
(Pierre-Luc Verville) ... more
