Jeff Snyder: Concerning the Nature of Things

Albums

members of Wet Ink
Mivos Quartet | Susan Alcorn
Carrier Records
Nov 9, 2018
Purchase (Bandcamp)

Josh Modney performs on countervielle on the title track, as well as with Mivos Quartet and Susan Alcorn on Substratum.

Following on the heels of Sunspots, Jeff Snyder’s debut solo analog synthesizer album released this past January, Concerning the Nature of Things is a striking collection of Snyder’s concert music, performed by internationally-renowned musicians. The album is a bold statement of Snyder’s unconventional artistic voice, blending influences from medieval polyphony, algorithmically-generated Brazilian rhythms, and experimental noise music into a singular musical vision.

Four of the five pieces feature unusual electronic instruments invented and built by Snyder, many of which produce sound through acoustic resonators instead of speakers, and are designed to encourage nuanced expression from the performers, creating a visceral and corporeal quality of tone.
