about

'Dot Line Dot' is a collection of live improvisations performed with a synthesizer and the 'Mobius' software, inspired by the work of the father of minimalist music, Terry Riley, best known as a pioneer of the minimalist school of composition. Influenced by jazz and Indian classical music, his work became notable for its innovative use of repetition, tape music techniques, improvisation, and a tape delay system that allows sounds played by the instrument to be overlaid over time. This technique has been defined as 'Time Lag Accumulator.'
His most famous works are the 1964 composition In C and the 1969 album A Rainbow in Curved Air, both considered landmarks of minimalism and significant influences on experimental music, rock, and contemporary electronic music.
As he said: "Essentially my contribution was to introduce repetition into Western music as the main ingredient without any melody over it, without anything just repeated patterns, musical patterns".

Personally, I have always felt in Riley's repetitive approach an intense meditative capacity and a sense of impermanence that led me to explore firsthand the use of this technique, losing myself in the 'stasis' induced by repetition/variation.

Inevitably, this album is therefore a tribute to the work of Terry Riley.

The software 'Mobius,' generously created by Jeff Larson, reproduces, among other things, the 'SusReplace' technique (previously invented by Matthias Grob and implemented in the first rack for live looping, the glorious 'Gibson Echoplex'), which I've used in these pieces.
In 2015, I spent many consecutive hours exploring this technique, using from 2 to 4 tracks of different lengths in which insert/replace quarter, eighths, and/or sixteenths notes.
From this process emerged unexpected and polymetric musical forms.

Recently, I have extracted from those old sessions the tracks presented here in 'Dot Line Dot,' exactly as they were performed, preserving their "lo-fi" quality and charm.

Special thanks to Michael Peters and Stephan Thelen for encouraging me to release this collection of pieces and, of course, to Matthias Grob and Jeff Larson, whose work made this possible.

"When you strictly listen to a pattern that is continuously being repeated, it begins to undergo a kind of subtle change because in the meantime, it is you who is changing".
(Terry Riley)

World Dialogue (featuring Kronos Quartet)
by Stephan Thelen

supported by 5 fans who also own “Dot Line Dot”

On the first track, the Kronos Quartet plays a composition Stephan Thelen wrote for it. Kronos is and for a long time has been my favorite for contemporary art music. It is very selective about what it chooses to perform, and everything it chooses to perform is well worth listening to. The other three tracks are also superb Thelen compositions, here performed superbly by the Al Pari Quartet. John Simms

Tranceportation Vol.2
by Sonar w. David Torn

supported by 5 fans who also own “Dot Line Dot”

At first listen, the juxtaposition of Sonar's rhythmic constructions and Torn's soaring, furious/tender voice would by themselves be enough of a pull. But digging beyond the surface will reward the listener greatly. There is great depth, emotional nuance, intrigue and change, rewarding repeated listening. Ref: Miles/80's Crim/Tibbetts, but this is truly new music. grate ape

Something of a meditative flow that feels more important than whatever he is playing at a given moment. Occasional monolithic phrases and delicate shaping of feedback sculpt time. errantzephyr
