Roland Kayn : a musical pioneer in “Cybernetic Music”  and a creative who saw the modes of thought processing from the word of 60′s Cybernetics and turned its attention to audio aesthetics. His far reaching ideas allowed for experimentation with musical hardware and musical theory  - and leads the listener into a world of possible feedback from an array of sources.

Thanks to Data is Nature  for bringing Roland to my attention - and more info can be found in Thomas W Patterson’s article “The time of Roland Kayn’s Music”

So pleased to announce the release of the new Hydropark EP today with four brand new songs. They were recorded and mixed in Chicago with Elliot Bergman and Erik Hall. These sessions were quite a bit varied, in terms of arrangements and instrumentation, from our earlier synth and rhythm-based work. There’s even some singing! You can check out EP1 on Bandcamp at the link below or stream it on most available streaming services.

Parable of the Swans

On a small lake off the map of the world, two swans lived. As swans, they spent eighty percent of the day studying themselves in the attentive water and twenty percent ministering to the beloved other. Thus their fame as lovers stems chiefly from narcissism, which leaves so little leisure for more general cruising. But fate had other plans: after ten years, they hit slimy water; whatever the filth was, it clung to the male’s plumage, which turned instantly gray; simultaneously, the true purpose of his neck’s flexible design revealed itself. So much action on the flat lake, so much he’s missed! Sooner or later in a long life together, every couple encounters some emergency like this, some drama which results in harm. This occurs for a reason: to test love and to demand fresh articulation of its complex terms. So it came to light that the male and female flew under different banners: whereas the male believed that love was what one felt in one’s heart the female believed love was what one did. But this is not a little story about the male’s inherent corruption, using as evidence the swan’s sleazy definition of purity. It is a story of guile and innocence. For ten years the female studied the male; she dallied when he slept or when he was conveniently absorbed in the water, while the spontaneous male acted casually, on the whim of the moment. On the muddy water they bickered awhile, in the fading light, until the bickering grew slowly abstract, becoming part of their song after a little longer.
