about
Double Lives is a dreamy vision laid out in six tracks performed December 2021 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Recorded at the community space ‘uKirke’, the album takes its sonic inspiration from the acoustics of the church space in combination with the unusual Sound Object, a patent pending speaker system used for immersive sound rendering. Not directly appreciable in the recording (you would need to have a Sound Object at home to hear the effect), the multi-channel speaker cluster nevertheless permeates the sensibility of the sound throughout the album.
===
The at times heavily processed guitar takes on many shapes and forms as it weaves melodies, chords, textures and effects into the music, then further recorded, reassembled and processed in realtime by the digital companion. The elaborate computer programming blends impeccably with the rich guitar and together they form a continuum of sound where the elements are not perceptibly different from each other. That is, within each track only, since the difference between the tracks is at times remarkable.
Some tracks are held together by a realtime recorded guitar sample that facilitates the onset of improvisations that develop into rich mesh of filigree that intertwine, disentangles, enmesh and unravel. In other tracks multiple guitar voices refracts the live guitar and creates an instrument that seemingly is performed by innumerable hands that working the fretboard and plucks, strum and squeezes the strings to surprising effects.
Anders and Lars are part of the rich Danish techno and jazz scenes and together they explore in multiple directions such as interlaced sound systems, in-air synthesis and multidimensional performance environments to name some. Between them they have a vast experience in score composition, electrical circuitry and digital tools, with a large number of releases in very many formats throughout the years. Their collaboration is a fairly unusual one as the digital part behaves as a true performative instrument that runs in realtime exclusively and with nothing prerecorded.
This makes the dialog with the guitar a direct and spontaneous reaction, as evidenced by the music’s readiness for subtle changes that go well beyond strict formal development of the discourse and fabulations. The result is a music that resembles a journey more than anything, when the ideas reemerge and are reinvented in numerous ways.
