American composer & and/OAR curator Dale Lloyd was invited to have work released on label Con-v; but instead of a solo release, he chose to invite some friends to make it a collaboration release. The end result features eleven different collaborations, produced and arranged by Dale Lloyd.
In spite of the tracktitles' allusion to the periodic table, this release represents in no way an analytic science - rather a creative one, deeply infused with the alchemists spirit. Adding very little as far as sound sources go, the creative proces involves mainly processing & editing of the source sounds delivered by a range of collaborators. The result, albeit an amalgam of distinctive sonic perspectives, is an aural entity of a wholly integral kind: a set of sonified objects of a meta-organic nature, cohering as a parallel but antithetical universe to that of the analytical & materialistic mind-set of the standard table of the elements.
Artists featured: Robert Horton , Nathan McNinch , Omnid , Ben Owen , Josh Russell , Stuart Dodman , Ubeboet , Scott Taylor , Heribert Friedl , K.M. Krebs , and Jon Tulchin .
