The ': ,: Turning Centre... is a singular sonic exploration of :, : human-machine calibration, interaction, expression and : :' biofeedback. ': ,: :, : Using saxophones, foot-controlled bass pedals, and his own pulse : :' û patched through a heart monitor routed to variegated signal ': ,: paths that trigger modular synthesizers and samplers û Sharp :, : paints with organic waves of glistening synthesis, pink noise : :' and digitalia. Melodic strokes and harmonic shapes ripple and ': ,: crest across ever-shifting seas, through an inclement cycle from :, : dawn to dusk. The albumÆs six main movements navigate a world : :' where placid surfaces are always roiled and disquieted by a ': ,: deeper inexorable gyre: the gravitational pull and tidal :, : perpetuity of our bodies made of water, buffeted by terrestrial : :' atmospheric pressures, wrung out by emotions, coursing with ': ,: blood, sustained by breath, inescapably yearning for and :, : returning to ground again and again. SharpÆs heartbeat literally : :' courses through these compositions û while only occasionally ': ,: surfacing as a clearly audible pulse or rhythm, it physically :, : feeds into a spectrum of generative synthetic processes that : :' help constitute and conduct the music. ': ,: :, : The immersive, intensive, widescreen electronic works on The : :' Turning Centreà could sit comfortably as a masterful and ': ,: stellar contribution to the space/sci-fi/synth soundtrack genre, :, : owing to their overall sound palette and oceanic scope. But this : :' is ultimately deeper, grittier, earthier stuff û pulsing with ': ,: terrestrial granularity, charting subterranean geographies of :, : the heart and soul. : :' ': ,: Sharp chose an unsparing time to commit to a rigorously solo :, : practice: pandemic lockdown occurred just as the first studio : :' sessions with sound engineer Radwan Moumneh (Jerusalem In My ': ,: Heart, Matana Roberts, Suuns) were scheduled to begin. While :, : much of the central architecture and several themes had already : :' been constructed, Sharp found his isolation music marinating in ': ,: a socially-distanced anxiety soup beyond all imagining, yielding :, : some profoundly deeper flavours and hues. As the album attests: : :' he more than stuck with it. With sessions rescheduled under ': ,: covid protocols in Fall 2020, Moumneh captured Sharp at a peak :, : of technical, technological, and intangibly expressive power. : :' ': : ' '.. ..' .. . :........... . . . . ............: . . ______________ ______________ \ / \ / \ / Shout out to all our homies from: \ / \ / \ / \ / iPC BOSS HiT2000 1way UKi i8 RNS \ / \ / RAGEMP3 MANDY DV8 pLAN9 BUTT \ / \ / \ / \/ ____ ____ \/ \ / F A N G \ / \/ 2 0 2 1 \/
