about

Steve H on Oceana:

This EP, Oceana, takes you on an emotional, sonic journey exploring the Ocean from its surface to the deepest, darkest depths and back again.

Oceana begins, quite appropriately, in the pentatonic mode slowly building up complex layers of filtering, bubbling, melodic, effervescent wash. It then slowly (and imperceptibly) submerges the listener deeper into its mysterious, reverberated depths as the musical modes shift to lydian, ionian and then completely devolves into dark layers of gong-like natural dissonance. It briefly attempts to return to the surface with the reappearance of the pentatonic bubbles, but surprisingly a rhythmic Buchla solo halts the progress as it takes another plunge even deeper into the darkest trenches as the composition transitions into the natural minor scale. Finally, it suddenly rises back to the surface and into the glorious, shimmering sunlight.

Oceana is infused with shimmering reverbs, loops and echos, inspired by Fibonacci (spiraling) ratios, designed to infinitely perpetuate the verisimilitude of the natural world. This recording was performed live, in surround, on the Buchla 200e electronic music instrument and later mixed and mastered to stereo at Steve H's New York studio.

Deep, organic, spiritual inspiration. One of the few electronic musics I can listen to in alternation with the works of Notre-Dame School or the motets of the Bach family (for example). Splendid. ‘The form is the result of the process... a crystal!’ Todd recently said about the form in his creations. Well, crystal can also transmit light and beauty. Petrus Major
