Pareidolia

Description

Limited double vinyl LP edition in silk-screened cover designed by band member Jason Kahn. Includes a download code. Tetras take a long-form approach to their music, with live sets approaching one hour or more. The gradual structural development of their pieces blurs the sense of time passing, moving through various fields of improvisation which owe as much to Rock (This Heat, Can), as Jazz (Sun Ra, electric-era Miles Davis), minimal music (Steve Reich) or drone (Phil Niblock). Aside from their collaborative approach to the music, Tetras also work collectively in all aspects of the production involving a recording. On Pareidolia each member of the group had a hand in either mixing the initial tracks or mastering them for the final vinyl cut before pressing. Having Pareidolia released as a double LP reflects the group's preference for a certain analog sound and a way of listening to music not common in today's world of playlists and compressed sound files.
