Here it is turned inward — not toward an enemy but toward sound itself, routed through four vintage tube amplifiers. The dish hunts resonances transmitted across space, locking onto frequencies generated by contrabass clarinet, sheng, and voice until feedback ignites — a fourth performer with its own unpredictable agency. Across six pieces built from cellular automaton compositional frameworks and graphic scores, the trio moves between extreme registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront and back cover artwork by Shintaro Kago — Tokyo-based manga artist and pioneer of the ero guro tradition. Recorded, mixed, and produced by Randall Dunn.
