It took months of fussing (and procrastinating) but I finished a new full size Slippery Geometry piece. The work is going through a major evolution and finding how it works in a new paradigm is proving to be hard scrabble. I finally found a sort of rhythm. I began to think of it as a graphic score.

There’s a growing case that music in this vein represents a very new sub genre, one that I don’t think yet has a name. It’s DIY but highly produced, disjointed and dubby with elements of ambient and pop, liminal and lyseegic.

Started with Kinks’ Big Sky and sonically free-associated for a while, then thinned it out and organized it into an order. It gained a theme of mostly spacious or stately (or both) tunes.
