about

A tenuous balance had been attained and sustained across aeons; a single hair suspended, battened about by the winds of consequence. Two factions, the Collapsers and the Mages, stand at the diametric ends of a spectrum, light and shade entwined in a violent thrash dance.
In the deep remembrances, single avatars of each group would act as edge sentinels, guarding and protecting the philosophies and life-ways of the opposing forces. As the flickering zoetrope of time and space’s apertures widened, these sentinels weakened, eventually culminating in neither group having a representative avatar. Both parties have long suspected that their bifurcated existence was reaching it’s nadir… until now.
In an act of cosmic quantum entanglement, the twin suns delivered a heliographic message, flashing two breathing image-beings into existence on opposite sides of the land. One borne unto the Collapsers, immaculate in her conception. The other, angular and noisesome, borne as a scream made manifest unto the Mages. Once again, the world had its two avatars and this is their chronicle…

This record is a document if a pre-covid Isolation Tank Ensemble which began in February of 2020 and is only now, through the mists of time, finding its way into your sweaty little hands. Nick and Rye, without you this album would not be possible. We are so grateful for the crossing of our paths as life took us in different directions (aka a "barn fire"). We would like to thank Lamar Cornett for joining our group of weirdos.
