Bryan Day & Seymour Glass - Crooked Doppler
Clarity in an environment of aural explosiveness. This is a place of found sounds and made sounds. A place where rhythms and beats ignite like old matches and extinguish with no smoke or smell. Listeners are dazed as minds numb in the volume of sonic passing. Are the vignettes within Crooked Doppler assembled as bits and pieces in randomness, or is the construct of a higher order? A question answered by the two artists themselves or pined upon in time by music scholars and noise specialist.
Bryan Day is an artist who forges the physical world to make both sound and music. His skills pull from late nights in workshops and push towards stylish art galleries. A consciousness in tune with intriguing details, few people notice the sonic world the way Bryan Day does. Seymour Glass is a magus in a world of sound. Years of turning pages, reading about music, editing others thoughts about sound, and creating aural escapes that push the threshold of what is understood. Both Bryan Day and Seymour Glass match well on paper, but the true measure is how Crooked Doppler sounds. And this is stunningly clear and magical. Imagine turning the pages of a colossal photo album depicting a long lived point in history. Each image reaching above the page to gain depth and vivid clarity. Crooked Doppler is like this. Each track a page in the album, each series of sounds brought past the speakers being replicated on. All leading into thoughts to resonate with a deeper consciousness within all of us.
