David Lee Myers finds his sounds in the off-screen space of feedback networks. By patching the output of an electronic audio device, such as a mixing board, back into its input Myers is able to conjure and navigate within this space. A familiar example of a feedback network is the piercing howl we hear when holding a live microphone too close to its speaker. There is no signal external to the system, only the signal that appears, as if magically, from nowhere, when the input and output are acoustically coupled. This “nowhere” is the off-screen space of feedback networks. -Kim Cascone
Electronically generated waves have a unique way to respond to the sentience of someone who deeply respects what will always remain a mystery for earthbound creatures, in spite of the latter’s delusional “progress”. They are pliable, harmonically rich, ceaselessly beautiful. The oscillations, in conjunction with sequential structures devoid of regular “patterns”, produce geometries that no word can carve in the stone of semi-illiterate presumption. As in the bulk of Myers’ releases, the eleven tracks of Superpositions offer a chance for relinquishing the pomp of intellectual grandeur and stick to what really constitutes the nourishment of our very being. -Massimo Ricci
