About:
“The title track, Axis Mundi, revolves literally around the idea of its namesake. The sound of a Jacobs Ladder creates the core central rhythm which is yet another incarnation of the theme. An attempt at representing both ascending, and descending, movement around the cosmic axis.

The second track, Strange Loop, is patterned after the ideas set forth in the book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid around the concept of a “Strange Loop”. Specifically in relation to recursion, the fugue compositional technique, and Johann Sebastian Bach.” — the artist.

“Musica Universalis” is two works of otherworldly Musique Concrete. The title track is based on the concept of Music of the Spheres and is composed primarily of sounds generated by astronomical objects.
The “maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes” of the final track echoes the Lovecraftian mythos of the blind idiot god Azathoth and his mad dance at the center of the
universe.

“Tales of Adventure is comprised of two tracks, each its own unique tableau. Track one, Nautilus, finds its inspiration in the voyages of Captain Nemo and his vessel the Nautilus as told by Jules Verne. The second track, Deadeye, comes from the distinctive visions of the Wild West as seen through the lens of the Spaghetti Western. Both pieces hold true to the tradition of Musique Concrete and are assembled from entirely acoustic source material.”

Materia Confusa’s debut release with Webbed Hand Records is an EP of compositions influenced by alchemical processes and electronic voice phenomena.

1. Transmutation
2. E.V.P.

Derived from acoustic source material and tweaked for a couple of years until the base matter of it was transmuted to gold, these two tracks rivet the attention.

This is a joint venture with the home label of Materia Confusa (Sonance). Cover art credit goes to Materia Confusa. You can learn more about MC and view additional fractal compositions at www.materiaconfusa.net..
