about

“Out-of-body experiences have been documented for centuries, at least since the late 1800s. One case, recorded by French otologist Pierre Bonnier in 1905, describes a patient who felt "divided into two persons, one who had not changed posture and another new person on his right, looking somewhat outwardly. Then, the two somatic individuals approached each other, merged, and the vertigo disappeared."*

Out-of-body experiences may originate via vestibular disorder in the inner ear. One may experience "floating" or "sinking" sensations while falling asleep, dreaming or waking.

//

Who doesn't know vertigo?! Physically & poetically. Psychic derealization is 'a thing'. Spectral Works indulge such feelings of alienation, suspension ... , derealization. Sinking & floating. Spiraling infinitely down devil's mucky staircases or ascending upwards eternally to brilliant blindness. Sometimes they emphasize the rational disordering of the senses. Others, poetic interpretations of what an extreme auditory disease might feel like. Yet others seek in vain to give order to the disorderly.

//

The works are constructed spectrally, with sine waves at alternating pitch ratios, binaurally tuned. Doppler effects were used to simulate acceleration & deceleration, creating a disorienting auditory phantasmagoria. The waves are constructed on overtone series beginning at the lowest end of human perception & extending to the most elevated the human ear can detect. All tones are free-floating & unhinged from their fundamental tone. Indeed, one might say that I have no fundamentals.

//

The Selected Spectral Works is a longform psychoacoustic phantasmagoria. Ranging from soporific ambient drones to radiant dispersions of sine tones spanning the entire human pitch spectrum, this 10-part monolith of evanescence freely explores 'endotonality' — composing difference & combination tones. One must "listen for the ghosts", as Maryanne Amacher once said.
