2011

2011, a void year:

no personal high water marks, but rather a durational cocoon, a tectonic shift towards something better; slow, imperceptible change. Seemingly painful and mundane in process, but in hindsight, we have evolved, grown, forged a stronger sense of self and perspective. All of it was masticated, digested, broken down: now we are left with nothing but the very essence, something closer to pure. let's see how we put it all back together again....

may all of your dreams come true...
c-11
here benjamin rossignol offers up one of his most sinister- a base layer heavy zone with a fine web of creeks, pops and chirrups that only his homemade synthesizers can produce- building up until he hits the resonant frequency of bone marrow

side b is a realm of shadow (de)composition for autoharp and 1/4 " tape, the presence you felt in your grandparents' basement when you were a child, that just sat there and watched you- not threatening, but ever-present and aware
