This is a release on Type Records, the label I co-founded with John Xela. John was responsible for its musical output; I contributed in the first few years on design and running the label. The catalogue is archived here for posterity.
Wisconsin's Jon Mueller and New Orleans' Duane Pitre are both towering figures in the world of avant garde sound. Inverted Torch finds the duo meeting somewhere in the middle: Mueller's familiar patter (this time on a collection of gongs) is matched with Pitre's bowed cymbals and his expertly realized collection of Max/MSP patches. The album is made up of two pieces — 'No Longer of Our Time' and 'A Fading Light Within its Place' — both taking influence from the poem The Inverted Torch by Edith Matilda Thomas. Blissful, unique and oddly moving, it is a record that defies comparison and encourages patient, deep listening.
Made at Type.
