Lee Weisert's album Recesses explores the idea that listening can be an act of resistance against listening itself, seeking sounds beyond the ear.
Compositional Technique
Recesses aims to reveal anomalies between and behind frequencies, including 'third sound(s)' produced by non-linear phenomena.
Album & Artwork
The album art for Recesses was created by Tama Hochbaum, and the design was done by Marc Wolf.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album's sonic landscape is compared to the intricate, cosmic universe depicted in the neuroanatomical illustrations of Santiago Ramón y Cajal, a Spanish neuroscientist.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Recesses introduces listeners to a realm of 'unlocated sonic obscurity,' where sounds might feel like a conversation with one's own tinnitus.
Composer's Artistic Vision
The album Recesses is described as a 'maze of opportunity,' where imagination is an active participant in the listening experience.
Compositional Technique
Recesses is characterized by miniature sounds contained within sharp and melodic swells, creating a sense of being engulfed by 'anatomical whispers' and electronic waves.
