Jute Gyte – Mitrealität CD

Experimental microtonal black metal project from the prolific Jute Gyte. Words below from the artist, Adam Kalmbach: "This album developed from an interest in making more comprehensive use of the different dimensions of musical/aural space – vertical, horizontal, dynamic, acoustic – and a search for forms that combine continuous and discrete change. In Pentalpha, a sequence of five chords is repeated by five interlocking voices, each voice proceeding at a different rate and dynamic level. The first voice plays a chord every measure at the lowest volume, the second voice plays a chord every two measures at a somewhat higher volume, etc. The fifth voice plays a chord every five measures at the loudest volume. The piece continues until the five voices have completed a full cycle, ending on the final chord, an A quintal triad. The album opens and closes with lines from The Tunnel by William Gass, and is also indebted to Ernest Becker, William Blake, Cage, Camus, Cioran, M. J. Grant, Kyle Harper's The Fate of Rome, Tom Johnson, Klee, D.H. Lawrence, György Lukács, Nietzsche, Éliane Radigue, Jerome Rothenberg's translations of Mesopotamian poetry, Carl Stone, James Tenney, and John Williams. Lyrics and most music written 2017-2019, final mixes assembled throughout 2020." Created by Adam Kalmbach July 2017 - December 2020 Cover art: Arnold Schoenberg – Denken
