A self release of mrmrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/tesserae

by MRM on May 18, 2022

& happening, reed wind
hailer, hail-er, more hail
will quieten clastic until

weather in this music is tender, shifting, kaleidosonic as cloud-in-lightning & extended interludes of holding clay & water hardens into shale, splits again along parting surfaces

tesserae mosaicked into corners between sky & sky—are they made the shapes they are or are they shattered? brathwaite asks “how to study the fragments / whole

as if this album of comings & goings, saltations, shadow bells; P & E are not moving (between) instruments as if discrete things, by turns already moving (with) waves, trying surfaces,
stretch-clatter-catch-
echo-rest-fold
away

listened from wind gaps between wood when sideways shift (pins, needles, small objects)
listened with sway of floating space, ear-tilt unaligned ripple horizon
listened outward abalone’s inside dis-closing, iridescent loop interfering frequencies

in the middle a tune picks up & modulates cumulatively piano key thud drums shout sax cello strings re-coil keys trickle oscillatory

varve is a rhythmite, a small geological event:

springwaters vigour-brim bigger chunks
streambed lilt-bears a couplet, de-
posits light then dark or dark then
clay-fine sediments in glacial lake

is too still for clenching in y/our mouth: a varve-bubble’s jot
is not swallows reverberating whirl-wharved revolve

& dry ferrous also desires; P “carried the cello off the floor-grass & it sung, felt like there was river in its hollow
drop pitter tessellation precipitates
buried waters / cirrus fluting

up through vestibules, wood warps with drifts & confluent spheres
fret meanders in from sea plays stratus cymbals
moments where metal passes breath

& keeps arriving where “minerals are
when crystals too small
to be seen / this tiny quartz
is massive! verve
spatters,
& the interval around—
