Although followers of my work might find precedent in the cyclical looping compositions of 2013-14 called Systematic Structural Instability, this is my first attempt to create a long form piece that is most explicitly not based on the concept of "exciting" or "capturing the attention" of the listener but is designed rather to confirm and elevate an ongoing life process by providing a smooth and supportive sound sensation, something that gently colors already existing spaces. It can be thought of as hanging on the air like a wisp of cloud or incense. Or one needn't think about it overmuch. It's approximately 36 minutes long but is based on an extended phased looping of guitar tones (recorded in a super quiet village in Bulgaria) in a software process that can potentially run to infinity and which has no proper beginning nor end.
Ceres I is indeed part of a trilogy. There is Ceres II and Eclipse, waiting in the wings. I am using this moment to put out a call for any label that would be interested in releasing this on physical media and those who like to hear it live as a multi-channel installation. Please write to me, we can discuss different vehicles, ways to deliver these messages. Cover art by Karolina Ossowska
