  • Description

    Near Distant by Michelle Lou explores the intricate interplay of stasis, time and perception. Lou's compositions challenge conventional interpretations, presenting music as a constantly evolving landscape. Through "static" or "stasis-variation" she reveals the complexity within seemingly unchanging sounds, inviting listeners to explore subtle transformations in pitch, timbre and dynamics.

    This album embodies Lou's unique approach, emphasizing our active role in perceiving and transforming the infinite essence of music.

    Performers on this recording:

    Distractfold, Ensemble Inverspace, gnarwhallaby, line upon line percussion, scapegoat, Trio K/D/M, WasteLand
