"This recording consists of eight electro-acoustic compositions and two pieces by each of the four composers. Pauline Oliveros: 'Mercury Retrograde, 'Cyber Talk.' Francisco Lopez: 'untitled #270,' 'untitled #273.' Doug Van Nort: 'Outer; Inner.' Jonas Braasch: 'Web Doppelganger,' 'Snow Drifts.' The works span a vast sonic terrain, challenging listener and performer alike through a seamless blend of deep listening and absolute noise, moving between ever-fluid improvisation and carefully controlled sound manipulation. The quartet convened for two improvisational sessions between February and May of 2010, with Lopez sitting in on a Triple Point (Oliveros/Van Nort/Braasch) recording session and bringing his finely crafted sonic objects-as-instruments, further spanning the electro-acoustic divide that has become Triple Point's calling. The four later re-formed for their debut concert at the Deep Listening Institute in Kingston, NY in September of 2010. These sessions have since become raw material for the individual artists to construct new visions of this shared sonic body through extensive and thorough evolution of the recordings--personal reflections culled from a collective tapestry."
