bc_ - cdr_ (2019)

"A form of 'generative music,' cdr_ music reproduced itself with variations ad infinitum, shaping longform, semi-automated collages of piano improvisations. Today, this perpetual reorganization seems to me like an obvious metaphor for healing after crisis. When redemption models, progress narratives, and delusions of overcoming are exhausted, recovery redefines itself as learning to carry forward with the volatility of ever re-surfacing pasts. Half-memories and even forgetfulness become tools in evoking loss, surrender, and other opportunities for restabilization and growth."
