TAPAGE & GARETH DAVIS - STATES

Format: LP Label & Cat.Number: Moving Furniture Records MFR074 Release Year: 2019 Note: this album started with TAPAGEs creation of a *self-balancing and self-generating chaotic system, capable of producing deep, melodic and textured soundscape* (analog feedback vs. digital manipulation), later GARETH DAVIS joined in with his bass clarinet, resulting in a new set-p / system of balanced drones, feedback, instrumental utterings and resonances, and a good portion of noise and sub basses.. a very strong project! - lim. 300 copies Price (incl. 19% VAT): €18.00 More Info STATES started out as a live electronics setup, developed back in early 2016 by Tijs Ham. The first version combined analogue feedback with digital manipulations which resulted in a self-balancing and self-generating chaotic system, capable of producing deep, melodic and textured soundscapes. During a performance, the setup would be played until it would reach a state in which it was generating its own sonic material. The performer would then take a step back, allowing the system to run on its own. Carefully listening to the movements, progressions, noises, drones, and arpeggios until the urge to intervene took the upper hand and the system would be performed and nudged towards a new state of balance. The STATES setup went through a series of revisions and alternative versions, each playing with the same basic ingredients, mixed up and prepared in various ways. In the summer of 2017, Tijs started to collaborate with Gareth Davis, well renowned for his work with contemporary and experimental music on the bass clarinet. During an inspired series of recording sessions at STEIM, the STATES setup was reinvented once again and lifted up through the spacious and engaging interplay between reed and recursion.
