The product of a definite convergence of ideas as well as my
own nascent french, the title ┴ Travers le Bord can be
interpreted as both a æcrossing throughÆ a material edge or
border and a liminal move from exterior to interior, or vice
versa, in terms of, for example, flesh, or more generally,
selfhood. A happy accident. Though I would never presume to
attribute any central meaning to music, such border crossings
are a constant in my life and most likely inform my
composition process as it unfolds in front of the laptop,
moving or being still, listening, inside or out. ItÆs a
delightful paradox, the ongoing flux that finds its faithful
correlate in the pull towards a relative silence and calm.
Also delightful was my good friend and collaborator Dean
KingÆs willingness to contribute sound material for this
piece, in addition to a much needed critical ear. After a few
limited edition cd-r releases as Eto Ami, we were due a joint
project. Many of these sounds I processed further and set
about composing û a long and sometimes arduous course that
prompted its own numerous excursions through borders. Most
importantly, however, I was reminded of the pleasures of
camaraderie, even at a distance.
Limited to 300 copies.
