*Limited Edition Handmade CDR* Interactive electronics reacting to timbre and amplitude emphasize stark and unsettling sounds from the tenor, stressing the sinister and foreboding quality of the spider. The snake, meanwhile, floats ethereally through a dynamic mesh functioning as reverb and chorus, blurring the lines between the two like smoke drifting through an empty bar. Spell 76 evokes a pen cascading a river of ink representing the flow of ideas; granular sampling pulls ideas from the beginning in a current flowing through the end, pulling fragmented memories of the instrumental timbres into the present and stirring them into both real and synthetic water sounds. This emphasizes the friction of writing as a creative process that stems the tide of the artist’s ideas into a crystalline entity- an imperfect and beautiful distillation represented by the frozen timbres of the voice, flute, and viola. Spell 14 is a look into a mutoscope, a machine playing a short, “scandalous” film that frames a dancing woman as an object of desire. This song frees the woman, contrasting the mechanical and cold nature of the mutoscope with the woman’s own desire and longing for something real.
