False Aralia: a series of recordings growing in all directions, cataloging the work of a group of North American collaborators centered around the studio practices of Izaak Schlossman (of Aught, S Transporter, Loveshadow, etc.) and facilitated by Brian Foote (of Peak Oil, kranky, etc.). With this outlet we hope to provide useful tools for dance and avenues for intentional listening.

The first release, explores valences of an idea as it slips — as would a thought or a cloud — into something else entirely, across its four tracks of recursive microhouse rhythms and hallucinated dub spatializations. Foregrounding its most melodic state, its most percussive, and two points between, the versions cut an indeterminate and continuous process into discrete objects that invite repurposing, layering, and other nonlinear methods of evaluation. Played through, it may be interpreted as an emerging, or a coming-to-light, as a soft vocal figure develops a tougher rhythmic architecture that eventually occludes its prior form entirely. Each of »Zero Key«’s facets spurs a parallel investigation into its internal logic of patterning and form.
