about

Simon Barker drums/Lyra 8

1. Relational Oscillate
2. Shapes Reflect

Recorded and mixed by Richard Belkner at Free Energy Device
Mastered by Michael Lynch

Over the past few years I've been developing a personal rhythmic/sticking vocabulary that I call coiling, the coils being dense collections of rhythmic stuff joined together in different ways.

Lately I've been exploring improvising with these shapes but have been trying to maintain a constant oscillation between right-hand lead and left-hand lead from phrase to phrase in order to create new rhythmic experiences. This came up after thinking about running and the constant right-left oscillations of legs and arms. So these two tracks are improvisations that explore coil shapes and lead hand oscillation as the primary musical idea.
