m dwinell: golden ratio

Volume six in our Required Wreckers LP series, M Dwinell's Golden Ratio offers the only documentation of Dwinell's just intonation organ work, recorded between 2007-2008. Golden Ratio focuses exclusively on a natural tuning system generated from the harmonic series. By precise control of his instrument's tuning, Dwinell sets into motion a dynamic musical system of pressure, intensity, and calm. Golden Ratio incorporates both static pulsing drones and heavily arpeggiated passages, culminating in melodic lines that epitomize Dwinell's unique musical vocabulary as developed over the last twenty years. Golden Ratio pairs Dwinell's music with the artwork of Ricci Albenda. Albenda and Dwinell share an intense and concentrated interest in perception, especially in how sight and sound can both focus and alter one's awareness. The LP contains a 16-page booklet of Albenda's work that follows previous sound-and-art pairings in the R/W series.
