about

Quintessence is the force behind dark energy which is propelling the expansion of the Universe. Just as the Universe expanded from a tiny point, so too, this record exploded from a simple idea: take simple sets of chord changes and repeat them. However, every time they are played in a different inversion or voicing. The song duration is determined by the number of inversions and voicings.

The tempo is fairly sedate, between 80 and 90 bpm. The processing is mostly identical between songs - chorus, echo, reverb EQ, and other processors are preset, with only occasional and subtle changes, so as to foster a sonic unity.

The intention of this processing unity is the creation of an ersatz electronic ambiance that one can come back to at will and enjoy the same "space" no matter where you drop in.

The song titles are largely, but not entirely, derived from the names of the patches or instruments used. Some titles also reference things and people both real and imagined.

Enjoy the space of Quintessence.
