about

After a busy season of live shows with my modular synthesizer, I became curious about expanding the tunings of the system. I explored the harmonic series which led me into classical Indian scales - via John Coltrane’s use of various ragas in his music.

I've been experimenting with different tunings of the Melakarta scales while working in the studio over the past few months, and you can hear some of those influences in a few of these tracks. I record each piece a few times, and select the iterations that I feel best represent my musical intentions. My goal with this project is to capture the raw beauty of these traditional scales by playing them on a "western" instrument, without any edits or overdubs.

These processes were further augmented and superimposed among some textural and rhythmic recordings I created during the same period.
