SYNOPSIS: Marker is the first in a two part album concept for the Gruenrekorder label by Canton, Ohio, US based sound artists Jeremy Bible & Jason Henry. Marker combines multiple elements in order to create constructed fictional environments, realities, locations, and atmospheres. Field recordings captured from the northeast Ohio region and often times in and around the individual artist's homes, processed and clean, play a large part, alongside treated and processed acoustic instruments and subtle touches of electronic sound design.

 
CONCEPT: The two albums, Marker and Magnet, were created with the intention of being experienced both individually and consecutively allowing for up to four unique listening contexts.  It is also recommended that the pieces which the two albums are comprised of are combined and experienced in a random manner creating infinite listening experiences.
 

PROCESS: The sound elements presented on both Marker & Magnet were recorded, composed, performed, collected, and organized by the artists individually over a period of time for the intention of a single impromptu & improvised collaborative recording session.  Following this ‘content collection' period the artists met for a lengthy recording session at Jeremy Bible's Experimedia Studio1 where these individual sound elements were arranged, processed, and mixed by the two artists in an improvisational manner under conditions of half sleep like states of subconscious focus.  The elements of surprise introduced in a collaborative improvisational recording scenario play a large role in the duo's process and resulting sound works.

Wie alle anderen Veröffentlichungen der beiden ein wirklich lohnendes Album, wie ich finde. Stellenweise erinnern mich die Stücke auf eine subtile Art und Weise an Werkbund, was definitiv als Kompliment gelten soll.
