Lineland - Logos For Love

For a split second the actuality of language stood only to bear witness and inspire the sonic structures of love being erected around me, and in this moment I believed in principle of purpose. Only when English was interjected did I sense the imposing future and separate out the sound-scape of this melodic passing clan from the music streaming through the speakers. Logos for Love presenting a variety of acoustic instrumentation pressed into each other with modern blips and squiggles like a structure of so much brightly colored modeling clay with an illuminated jeweled interior, embracing the ancient rhythms and language over the impeding future. Malcolm Felder creates streamlined, discretely layered electronic music informed by a taste for left-field pop ranging from Bruce Haack to Bollywood, Hüsker Dü to George Jones. After moving to Queens in 1998, he began composing as Lineland, borrowing the name of a one-dimensional realm described in Flatland, the Victorian sci-fi novel by Edwin A. Abbott. Initial four-track Casio recordings grew into the album Pavilion (Audio Dregs 2003) over a three-year period, during which Felder expanded the material using music software on the home-built Dynavox 2000 computer and a growing array of vintage keyboards and novelty instruments. Songs have appeared on a few compilations and in several short independent films, including Back and Forthby James and Jeff Israel. TRACKS: 1. Pat Garrett (3:25)2. A Widow and a Prince (3:34)3.
