Releasenotes:
"This new series of works reflects an evolution of my adeptness with modular
synthesis. As with my previous release Essays in Idleness, Pitch, Paper & Foil
was constructed from a range of synthesis and compositional techniques. The goal
with this album was to form a collection that exhibits more restraint than
previous works. Modular synthesis can be an unruly medium and taming it in order
to produce delicate or subtle tones can be challenging. As with Essays, I have
allowed the artifacts of the process to find their way into the finished
product. Tape noise, distortion and by-products of the random sequencing method
all contribute to the character of the final recordings."

Christopher Bissonnette

Continuing the explorations of the analog synthesizer first revealed on his last
album, Bissonnette's deft touch in recording and mixing is a joy to experience.
While most contemporary analog synth slingers find themselves unable to not
overload the sound-field with the endless array of possibilities the instrument
provides, Bissonnette provides a master class in economy and control.
