This record is a receptor agonist. It is made for healing.

Six ideas are embedded in its sounds. 1. Healing is a social practice of system change through which we work to dismantle colonialism, capitalism, and patriarchy. 2. A judicial system based on punishment conditions us punish ourselves. 3. We can abolish punishment 4. We can abolish the police. 5. Humans can learn through positive reinforcement, if dogs can do it we can too. 6. When we feel love and connection it’s easy for things to change.

This record is experimental. That is to say nothing about genre or style. Experimentation is a method. A way of making something without knowing where it will go or how it will end. The modular synthesizer, with it's analogue operations and open patch points, is an instrument that lends itself to experimentation ("what would happen if I patched this to that").

Every stage involves experiments. Trying something, listening, changing perspective, listening again, figuring out what to do next.

There is no master clock for any of these tracks. Sync is first left to chance, then to editing and mixing.

This record is psychedelic. That is to say nothing about genre or style. This record wouldn't sound like it does without ayahuasca, icaros, and insects calling in the jungle night, the chorus of human song and more than human beings resonating around the maloca during ceremony.

This record is psychedelic. Psychedelics attune us to new levels of appreciation of timbral variations. This record is driven by timbral exploration.

This record is psychedelic. Each track, and the record as a whole first takes you to a place of a certain intensity where you can dwell for a time, then it brings you back. The restorative power of the psychedelic journey is in this return to a place of rest.

This record is ambient. That is a genre. A confusing genre. One that means different things to different people. When we say 'ambient' we are referring to a line of influence that runs through electronic music and synthesizer pioneers Éliane Radigue, Daphne Oram, and Suzanne Ciani, to minimalist and experimental composers Steve Reich and Alvin Lucier, to Brian Eno, Stars of the Lid and r beny.

Experimental, psychedelic, ambient.

This record is dedicated to everyone perceiving our deep connection to all living entities, to everyone enacting freedom and fighting for all life on this planet. It goes out to anyone interested in the relationship between synthesizers and psychedelics and who cares about how this culture can continue to develop and evolve.

This record is for the love that moves air and bodies. It is for life outside the studio. For the trees and the wind that blows through their leaves, for the fungus attached to their roots, for cicadas and bats, for all the more-than-human beings that fly and call as we work. All these beings heard this record first. They helped us to shape its sounds.They make us human.
