about

The tracks on XesseX are the result of a lifelong fascination
with directional sound. Not the direction from which it
eliminates but rather the direction in which it flows. The
depth and density within a reversed sound is totally
different than when it is played forward. A gong, for
instance, will build to a climax in reverse. Forward, it states
it's case immediately and then slowly fades to black. With
magnetic tape it was simply a matter of taking a reel and
playing it 'tails' first. Over the years I've had quite a bit of
experience with this procedure and I think I became fairly
adept at it. But when I switched my studio from analog to
digital it was another matter. I must admit it took me a long
time to figure out how to do it. So, for the past couple of
years I played with the concept in between other projects.
The resulting music was never really intended for release. I
made it just to amuse myself. However, the gentle
encouragement of Marleen Kingsley, webmistress
extraordinaire, led me to assemble these works and issue
them in the package you now have in your hands. Portions
of each track were recorded forward as well as backward
so that the same piece of music would have two unique
versions. On this CD tracks 1-4 are the forward mixes while
tracks 5-8 are their mirrored or reverse mixes. I hope you
will enjoy them. Headphones, as always, are highly
recommended. rb

Magical and timeless all the way through. Favorite track would be The Aubergine of the Sun, except there's that part in the middle of Adrift where you start listening as a human and end up a one-eyed snail scrunching reality up into melting origami puzzles. a
