Puzzle music\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Interior sounds from Madalyn in an album that flits between eerie ambience, environment, and hermetic logic. The music’s timing and sequencing feels distant, the elegant constructions conjured and organised semi-consciously, drawing the listener deeper into the dream and towards a zone where watch hands tick forward accurately and their perception of time unspools. Here each neatly tuned conversation and clockwork assemblage harmonises, spinning tantalisingly just out of range and understanding.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e “Puzzle Music is the desire to create images out of diverse pieces of sound. To collect timbral colours in a gradient procession and connect them until they create reason. Principally not knowing how the image will turn out, or what the picture even is. It is the act of placing sound shapes next to one another in the hope that clarity will gradually be revealed.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When grouping the songs together I was thinking of them as mechanisms in a timepiece. I have something of an obsession with Swiss watchmaking, although I think this stems from a desire for creative mastery and the design of an energy source independent of electronic needs. Hopefully the songs all serve a purpose towards the end goal of the album... but also, the way the Oberheim Xpander pans sounds is in a very clear circular pattern, which makes me think of gears turning.”\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Madalyn Merkey\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mana","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41392379887772,"sku":"Mana13","price":20.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/unnamed_ec858d65-3a6f-43f0-9f46-cc4381300209.jpg?v=1643910841","url":"https:\/\/www.horizonsmusic.co.uk\/products\/madalyn-merkey-puzzle-music","provider":"Horizons Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
