about

Two While One: The Possession Algorithm

I. Inviting the Serpent Which Does Not Rest
II. Exit Unclean from the Waterless Place
III. The Tempter
IV. Eve
V. Suffer the Idols

Underlying concepts of being overtaken with an external presence - physical, emotional or spiritual - possessing and guiding the once independent self which suffers decay; tempted and invaded.

Instrumentation is predominantly acoustic in source, ranging from live Yamaha piano recordings (most prominently on 'The Tempter' and 'Eve), harmonium, singing bowls, organ, glockenspiel, and chime row. Mass densities of layers which are meticulously edited to appear and disappear mysteriiously in the sonic cascade. The writing is avant-garde classical in it's nature yet produced with modern sound design methods, lending a Dark Ambient or Horror Film Score atmosphere to the proceedings. Moments of ethereal sadness and repose appear most prominently on 'Eve', and in more veiled moments prior and after.
