The Preservation label presents
Map Of Circular Thought
from Providence, Rhode Island's
Area C
. Area C is the music project for composer and multi-media artist
Erik Carlson
. Carlson has recently completed the soundtrack to a National Geographic documentary on New Orleans in the wake of the Hurricane Katrina disaster, and has worked on several projects for NASA's Space Grant Consortium along with numerous audio, multi-media and public art installations.
Map Of Circular Thought
follows several acclaimed works including 2009's
The Planetarium Project
, described by
The Wire
magazine as "inspiring."
Map Of Circular Thought
is a set of meditative, contemplative pieces -- a sonic rendering of the connection between memory and the present. Using minimal rhythm and melody to form constellations of fixed tones, these compositions burst with flickering sonic detail to create constant flux among the patterns he creates. The warm, analog sounds on
Map Of Circular Thought
-- made using guitar, organ, keyboard and a drum machine -- engage and play with states of consciousness in listening, and in particular found inspiration in the abstract dreamscapes of UK electronic pioneers
Seefeel
. Carlson also traces a line back to minimalist composers
Terry Riley
and
Steve Reich
, and shares a kinship with the transfixing qualities of more recent acolytes such as
William Basinski
and
Philip Jeck
.
Map Of Circular Thought
mainlines to the mind but is also a visceral, tingling thrill for the ears. This album is the second in a new limited edition CD series from Preservation called Circa. 300 copies only will be available of each release in the series and each will feature a design by
Mark Gowing
. Each design will be realized using a specially-created abstract alphabet of shapes, determined by artist, title and catalog number for something both fixed and random.
