Purely Physical Teeny Tapes

London based record label Purely Physical Teeny Tapes (PPTT) presents its second offering (and fourth under the Purely Physical umbrella): A Crude Explanation of Russell’s Paradox by Baltimore based artist Max Eilbacher, out on 6th April. A follow up from his release A System that Slips on Nick Klein's Primitive Languages, A Crude Explanation of Russell’s Paradox sees Max continue his system based, sound generation practice delivering 11 piano, tone and snare based arrangements informed by the mathematical principles of Bertrand Russell. "These recordings originated with a system created on my computer that played abstract samples of a piano. I discovered the system worked better using only a select few of the many piano sounds I had recorded and intended to use. I found it also worked well with no piano at all. Instead, I employed white noise, a solid tone, and wavefolders. Randomly generated patterns control the sequencing, routings and various sound parameters in the system. I created rules for my system based off of my crude understanding of Bertrand Russell’s Paradox theory that then modulates those patterns" - Max Eilbacher. Baltimore based Max Eilbacher is an interdisciplinary artist who works primarily with sound, video and performance. His sound practice draws upon traditions of electroacoustic, musique concréte composition and process intensive computer music. Max has previously released on Spectrum Spools and NNA tapes. He performs solo as well as with his bands Horse Lords and Sef 3, and is a member of the live incarnation of Matmos.
