Release Notes:
Half Acre Day is an amalgam of space and time. The
band has been experimenting with an alchemy of sound
and words. With the new release that has resulted,
Fourteen Trips Around the Sun, Seattle musical group
Half Acre Day hope to save the world.
Based on a complex set of hitherto undiscovered
philosophical and mathematical formulae, H.A.D.'s
controversial theories will shake the foundations of
the Church and the State. Exposed to this sonic
doctrine pious Clerics will set aflame their most
sacred documents, and godless Dictators will kneel
and pray for salvation. It's very scientific,
involving things like algorithms and equations and
the like. There are currently only five people on
the planet who fully understand its meaning, but in
the future it will provide the energy necessary to
maintain the amenities we enjoy today, such as
toast.
Swiss physicist, Jos van Schagen, weighs in; "As far
as 'Fourteen Trips around the Sun' is concerned: I'm
thankful there is air all around me. In the vast
blackness of deep-space, you would never hear Half
Acre Day coming. How could one ever appreciate their
intricate superposition of spherical pressure waves
if one were in a vacuum? Instead of appreciating
their complex harmonies, we would all be busy in the
act of asphyxiation!
"So letÆs rejoice we're all in this 'cab', taken for
a ride at 1 Astronomic Unit, around this fusion
blast furnace known as the Sun. Be happy that its
atmospheric envelope causes this music to be brought
to you at the speed of sound; inducing capacitative
changes in microphones to save it for posterity.
"Let's leave it up to the electron to traverse the
vacuum in the amps triode and pentode tubes, or jump
the p-n silicon junctions, allowing these sounds to
be produced, recorded and reproduced such that ear
membranes vibrate, ossicles oscillate, nerve cells
fire, and axions perform their intricate
ion-exchange dance so that our brains will register
them. After that there is only one thing left to do:
enjoy!"
