Mark Fell, a musician & friend I hold in the highest regard, had the idea to form a duo project wherein Mark's software-based formal & event-generation engines would "power" the Hybrid Digital / Analogue modular setup on which I've been performing over the past decade. Hinging on Mark's "Multistability" methodologies, the results wrap the precise, often audio-rate timings & poly-rhythmic patterns around an evolving set of synthesizer patches that slyly reference, yet deviate heavily from the timbral & grid-based lexicons of dance music.

We went from an afternoon spent rehearsing ideas in Mark's Rotherham studio to performing the very next evening at the LUFF festival in Lausanne, Switzerland. Over a half-dozen concerts given around the world during the 2014-2015 festival season (an opening slot for Suzanne Ciani at Volksbüne in Berlin was an early highlight, as was a fever-dream of a set in a tiny dance club near Copacabana in Rio De Janeiro a few short months later) these systems grew in complexity and scope until we were both happy enough with the results to begin compiling a document for release (as of late 2023, still forthcoming!
