"Mutualism, a relationship between two species of organisms in which both benefit from the association.

Earlier this year I acquired a Ciat Lonbarde Cocoquantus 2. Which is two 8-bit loopers, which can be modulated by an elaborate system of intertwined oscillators in the center by the user.

Shortly after, the world began to shut down and a sense of uncertainty, fear, and anxiety made it difficult to feel creative.

Each of these tracks is sintered using two different loops quickly created from various synthesizers. Tuned and then modulated so as to never really play through the same twice. I made them. However, I would often make a set of loops and then get lost in the in interplay, the mutualism, listening to the same loops, sometimes for hours, a distraction, a meditation.

These short vignettes are presented as they were recorded, in order. A glimpse into a process of simplification and listening to the relationship between to loops. "- k.burwash
