about

On their second release, Paper Fault Line, Rushford and Talia use strategies from contemporary composition, improvisation and electro-acoustics to create a sensuous and approachable, yet subtly disturbing, 30-minute suite. Eschewing the homogenized sound palette and dynamic conventions of post-GRM musique concrete, the record is structured as a series of episodes which, though retaining a sense of integrity, constantly threaten to crumble into non-linearity. Instrumental performances (on prepared piano, viola, pipe organ and percussion) and electro-acoustic improvisations (making use of analogue synthesizer, reel-to-reel tape recorder and spring reverb) provide the backbone of the piece and retain their raw, performative feel; these performative elements work equally with the meticulous post-production and editing to create a unique work, where the boundaries between composition, improvisation and electro-acoustic processes are well and truly blurred. Recorded in a detailed and unorthodox fashion with much attention paid to room-tone and acoustic contingencies, Paper Fault Line is a fully formed and challenging work by two unique voices in contemporary music. Featuring a guest appearance from Anthony Pateras on modular synthesizer.
