about

All compositions originally by Danny Fisher-Lochhead, with changes, re-arrangements, spontaneous composition, and group improvisation by the group and its constituents.

Many people are responsible for the music recorded here and the images that now accompany it, and I'm grateful for all of their various contributions. Some of these people are (in no particular order); Evan Hughes, Kyle Wilson, Katherine Perkins, Mike Kutchman, Brian Markham, Ben Cohen, Brandon Evans, Joe Hartnett, Ryan McLennan, Steve Berson, Danny Lubin-Laden, and Ross Gallagher.

While a great confluence of events, people, ideas, musics, and feelings no doubt influenced the genesis of this piece, I feel it necessary to acknowledge a few overt musical techniques borrowed and/or directly influenced by other composers. Some of the sonorities came directly from casual explorations in the musical language of Olivier Messiaen; a rhythmical device used in Part Two I learned from the music of Guillermo Klein; also in Part Two is a simple phasing technique related to those in Steve Reich's early pieces.
