Album description
Tumbolia is a term used by Douglas Hofstadter in "Godel, Escher, Bach, an Eternal Golden Braid", and describes a state of recursive processing where normal relationships and hierarchies are overpowered by infinite self-referencing feedback.
Breaking into tumbolia implies creating a musical engagement where normal rules of harmony, rhythm, tension and resolution are fed into each other and allowed to expand organically through all available dimensions. Chaos is encouraged.
However, there is an overriding belief that this insanity must be controlled. This album is functional, as well as cerebral - so it can always be understood and felt rhythmically, even where it is unfamiliar tonally, texturally or harmonically. Turn it up loud and you will hear more. The sounds are crisp and detailed, and the bass is deep.
The tracks on this album were produced over a span of about two years, and most of them were mixed professionally at Berry Street Studios in Clerkenwell, London (primarily as an experiment to see what it would be like to be 'signed').
