Charles Curtis Trio – Ultra White Violet Light / Sleep
2012
A design visualization for a simultanoues play cd concept, play 4 songs at once, or in any combination to build different soundscapes.
I buy a lot of records based on concept, intent, visual presentation, or when the work resists easy classification. This Charles Curtis release was one of those.
The album consists of four tracks, each of which can be played alone or in any combination, from two tracks up to all four played simultaneously. Ideally across four separate sound systems, so the listener can get lost in the resonant space between them.
The design concept followed directly from the music. Four points of emanation, intersecting. Sound waves colliding and generating new textures at each point of interaction.
