This exposition is in revision and its share status is: visible to all.
“CONCENTRIC CYCLES” is a personal artistic reflection of a 2 year growing process, in which I investigated artistic perspectives & the aesthetic potential around the context of circular rhythmic, as well as ambient electronic music through a linear sequence based improvisation like Oren Ambarchi, Mark Fell, Barker, Iku Sakan, concepts from Cosmic Kraut Rock, as well as the cyclic perspective & influences of Classical Indian Music.
The research addresses the paradox between linear and circular perception and contributes a poetic outcome to the spiritual and philosophical context of Evolutionary Astrology & the Buddhist Heart Sutra as a paradox of dualism.
A reoccurring association in my musical language is the circulation, contrasted to a linear based & sequenced polarity in perception. I explore the perceptional borderline between circularity and linearity, which is induced through recurrent and transforming sonic fluctuations in an electro acoustic & modular electronic set up.
This catalogue takes the form of a reflective text, with a specific focus on the working methods, contextual placements, considerations & personal psychological analysis, as well as the evolutionary intention of the process that opened up for me during all the cycles I went through.
