about

Micro-Nap (2022), Liner Note

In signal processing, white noise refers to a random signal with equal values across the frequency spectrum, and it also reflects how I interpret my surroundings.

Since a random signal consists of infinite layers of predictable frequencies, we can discover patterns or structures within a micro-span of time that are imperceptible from a macro-view.

The layering of these overlapping and colliding patterns produces non-linear transient states full of momentum; their accumulation is white noise.

Both physical and emotional reality show how white noise or extreme chaos is actually perceived as a stable and, in some sense, meaningless state. The layers become impossible to recognize.

The album title, “Micro-Nap”, is an example of one of those transient moments. This album reflects my emotional frustrations, non-linearity, the transience of feelings, and the emptiness of noise, as well as my attraction to them, too. Everything and nothing.

SeaJun Kwon, May 2022

Micro Nap is a fun and compelling album by a collection of talented young musicians who sound like they are having a legitimately good time playing music together. The music is spontaneous and well-executed, shifting smoothly between energetic improvisations and exacting composed material.

- Anna Webber

Mary Halvorson’s guitar playing is so unique! Beside Reid’s approach to cello it setting up a mood for the whole album. Very interesting! Robin Nitram
