A_XV

Open edition

inside a structure with many windows & doorways
without a ceiling or a floor
a bottomless tower
obscured light barely emerging through the blockage behind each window
doorways with seemingly vast empty rooms
trying figure out
am I looking for the purest light
or the calmest dark?

—————————

Bowed electric guitar & upright bass running through synth modules on a bass tube amp. Harmonic & microtonal techniques to distort the mind. Bifurcation of the most squandered senses. Hatred & Love in a cosmic battle, sharing the same veins & arteries in bodies baptized by light & shadow. Further down the continuum, amplification burns out as brightly as it screams, heavy & weeping. The echos of afterimages dance so gracefully. We are complete whether we are with or without.

Recorded on January 20th & June 8th 2019 in Sylmar, CA.

Digital released November 22, 2025

Electric guitar, upright bass, electronics, mixing, mastering, & artwork all by Michael Gelinas.
