                            Quandary is a work of electronic music that wants to balance between opposites -- nature and technology, human agency and artificial thinking, ritual and machinery. That's how quandaries emerge, as an impossible choice between two extremes. But music isn't binary thinking and allows the exploration of obscure connections. Underground, a growing mycelium intersects and communicates with a fiber optic backbone: on the surface, the curtains open, and the quandary may begin to dissolve. Produced in Berlin between 2019 and 2021, the album originates from open jams, which were then deconstructed through heavy editing -- and finally recomposed, sometimes challenging the original spirit. Bob Meanza's oblique approach to music production encompasses the creative textures of guitarist Alex Baboian, and is enriched by the vocal appearances of Bianca Guitton. A small orchestra of three that already implies roots in Germany, Italy, USA, Armenia, and France -- each musician carrying him/herself the "quandary" of having at least two homes. But again, this unexpected network can bring precious fruits to the surface. 180 gram vinyl.
