Published in an edition of 777 double LPs, with included digital download, the result, \u2018Psychic Resynthesis\u2019, represents both a prismatic object for repeated examination and an abstruse table of musical correspondences.<\/p>\n
frozen reeds is proud to present Mark Fell\u2019s \u2018Psychic Resynthesis\u2019, an instrumental work performed by Explore Ensemble. This double LP, with included digital download, is the label\u2019s 8th release, arriving 13 years after its foundation.<\/p>\n
Fell is a multidisciplinary artist, composer, and theorist based in Rotherham, UK. Renowned for his rigorous and conceptual approach to electronic music and sound art, his work explores the limits of structure, rhythm, and perception through a blend of computational systems, philosophical inquiry, and cultural critique.<\/p>\n
Over the last decade, Fell\u2019s practice has visibly shifted from a world of technical intricacy and myopic microdetail to one of collaboration and community. He has purposefully sought out diverse musical partners from a wide variety of traditions and disciplines and found equally diverse ways to work and create together \u2013 not to integrate their playing into a musical fusion, but rather to discover how such combinations of approaches and experience can stimulate unique and heretofore unheard results.<\/p>\n
The music here emerges from a commission for contemporary chamber group Explore Ensemble, situating Fell\u2019s work in a new context entirely. Having been a notable critic of classical music\u2019s slavish adherence to traditional musical notation, \u201cthe score\u201d, and its associated issues of control and hierarchy, one might expect a provocative or abrasive approach. Instead, a work of deep, tonal introspection unfolds – an elegant structure navigating the artist\u2019s antipathy for linear or timeline-based musical approaches.<\/p>\n
In Fell\u2019s selection of timbres and events, the dynamic of composer and performer is interrupted by his twin adoption of system and flexibility. Mathematical determination and sonic fixation vie for dominance. The conflict governing combinations. Upsetting preconceived strategies.<\/p>\n
