It was so strange, so disorienting, so immediately intimate and personal but also wildly askew. It was like real life, only vastly better. Hyperreal and beautiful.
Favorite track: It's hard even to say it. - Alex Temple AND Jenny Olivia Johnson.

*AND is a multi-city, multi-country project featuring the collaborative work of Chicago artists/teams of artists and their cohorts in other cities. We asked them to explore what it means to be a collaborative entity and how they might make something specific to the recorded medium.
Other than that, it was basically just... "Do whatever you want, guys...like...whatever...we'll record it...or you can.....seriously..."
It felt nice to say.
And the results are even nicer to hear.
Some people traveled, some Skyped, some maxed out a Google Drive sharing recordings, and everyone blew our minds.

“With Julius, he was based in repetition, but here was a spirit of openness and improvisation. His scores, if they were written out that way, were often like jazz scores. He loved multiplying instruments – four pianos, ten cellos – so there was a real feeling of the presence of the instrument, not just using an instrument in some kind of equation, as a means to an end.” ~ Mary Jane Leach

Mesmerizing minimalist music in a cathegory all its own. From seemingly simple building blocks, Dawn of Midi constructs intricate tapestries of sound, that grips the listener and does not let go before the music is over. polinos
