about

this album was created between June 2021 and December 2021. the music was composed and arranged sporadically - much of it was writtenin liminal spaces - laundromats, airplanes, hotels, couches. I wrote the entire album on an Teenage Engineering OP-Z which I liked for its portability and its simple mulit-track sequencer. although I mostly disliked the OP-Z sounds so most of the sounds come from other instrumentation (see below) using midi routing and multitrack recording.

my goal in each composition was to leave behind my strongly-held ideas of compositional structure without entirely leaving behind my affinity for compositional structure. normally, I would tend towards common structures (e.g. ABABCA, or just AAAAAA sometimes) but for this album I opted to try to *constantly* change chord progressions within each song and avoid transitions back to a previous chord progression (e.g. ABCDEF). each song's non-repetitive structure makes it a bit disorienting sometimes (to me anyways) - as if you could drop in at any part of the song and not really know where you came from or where its going. I like that. it reminds me a bit of a maze. inside a maze you can know that you are surrounded by lovely natural elements but its always a little unclear how you arrived from the beginning and how to will make it to the exit. with this in mind I decided the call the album "error garden" which is a literal translation of the German word for maze, *der Irrgarten*. taking inspiration from a maze is not intended to cause dread. the track names are all entitled "right" as a reminder that in every maze (that's simply connected) you can essentially just make only right turns and you will find your way out. like a maze, I hope the album is enjoyable space to get lost.

instrumentation: op-1 (lead), sh-01a (chords), norns (bass + other stuff), strega (arpeggio), op-z (sometimes lead/bass), drum+vocal samples.

samples: 1) Kyle MacLachlan (TV) 5) Juwan Crawley (TV) 6) James Earl Jones (White House Poetry Jam, public domain), 7) Mayda del Valle (White House Poetry Jam, public domain), 8) Peter Brooks (radio), 10) Joshua Bennett (White House Poetry Jam, public domain)
