EMV meets white noise with a warm hand on the texture of things previously inanimate. Static, soul, the superficial. Dilla, La Monte Young, Jodorowski.

Eric Michael Vallely’s debut full-length “Resolutions” promotes a continuation of what we believe to be the rising new sort of Fluxus movement for Los Angeles music. Real-time pro duplication on chrome tape, designed by Seth Ferris + printed on custom marbled-stock JCards.

*Notes about Jarrod Fowler‘s P.S. by Timothy Morton:

To generate, or rather to discover from within music itself, substances that resist not only classification as music, but music as such. To locate music as a small island of pseudo-consistency in a gigantic ocean of non-music, after François Laruelle. To locate noise as the infinitesimal subsidence of this island into the ocean, much bigger than noise, quiet, sound and silence.

To force music to think about itself, as music. To see thinking about music as distorted by what is exterior to thought, and even to human being. To discover, with a slightly uncanny horror, that the wall between human being and nonhuman is the appearance of the nonhuman itself. To realize that this wall of resistance is a symptom of what the philosopher Quentin Meillassoux calls hyperchaos.

To delineate through this method a working model of causality itself, which operates by what Jarrod Fowler calls rhythmicity. To investigate beats, which break up sonic continua: one beat as the minuscule flicker of causality. To realize that this causality floats on top of and emerges from the ocean of rhythmicity. To see, to hear that there is only this ocean, continually sampling itself, breaking itself up into itself. To announce this inherently contradictory reality in a sonic form as dialetheia, double-truth: p ∧ ¬p.
