DESCRIPTION: THE CHOICE OF A DIFFERENT INK AND PAPER LEAND A DELICATE QUALITY TO THE  SAME CONCEPT AS OHB [01] VER-A. THAT IS, A QUASI RANDOM TRIANGLE FUNCTION GENERATION. OVER TIME A SIGNAL RISES TO A PEAK AND RETREATS. A SIMPLE IDEA THAT MUTATES WITH EASE INTO GRANDIOSE COMPLEXITY. THIS IS A MAP OF THOSE PEAKS LAYERED ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. EACH PEAK ALONE IS DIVESTED OF CONTEXT. HOWEVER, TOGETHER THEY ACCUMULATE INTO A FOREST OF SHAPES. THE SONIC OUTPUT IS A RESULT OF A SUMMED AND QUANTIZED COLLECTION OF EACH PEAKS CARTESIAN LOCATION. TRANSLATED, REMAPPED AND ROUTED TOWARDS A MUTUAL SWIRL OF SOUND.

ALL ORIGINAL DESIGNS, PRINTS AND MUSIC BY ABITS 


MUSIC EDITIONS




 



PRINTS

The printing system is a true hybrid between the material world of paper, pen, ink, motors and metal with the digital precision of algorithms and tireless execution. Yet it is anything but fast (some prints require 16+ hours to complete) or accurately repeatable. Along the way ink runs out and all manner of variance occurs. It perfectly mirrors my visual and auditory biases, it’s thoughtful across multiple disciplines, the materials disallow photographic reproduction (let alone any scale) and it is deceptively delicate. All that is to say your order may take extra time while the systemic impact of ghosts and happy accident collide.


PHYSICAL MUSIC EDITIONS

I design, cut, construct, paint, print and release very limited physical music editions. They are experiments, mere attempts to materially convey their sonic content thematically and imperfectly. I have many to release this year… it’s been a long time.


SHIPPING

UNITED STATES: All shipments will be sent via USPS Priority Mail with a tracking number. Most deliveries in the US will take 1-3 weeks to arrive.

INTERNATIONAL: I’ll do my best to ship via USPS Priority Mail with a tracking number. Most deliveries will take 2-4 weeks to arrive.



IMPLANTED MEMORIES

I engage with the world in motion as I have done since youth. The circular subconscious obviousness of it plays out in my day-to-day. Patterns that I have both created and chased for years and ultimately sought to "draw", which I articulate here in picture form. Some may see my artistic trajectory as a linear progression, whereas I know it to have been more of an ebb and flow. Oscillations of highs and lows, which in themselves are more overtly represented and showcased in my current work.

Most notably these images are a nexus. A culminated visualization of my time spent navigating surfaces both physical, while skateboarding, and fluid, from a lifetime of surfing various oceans wherever land and sea push into each other.

Through all of this, the river-like flow of work, I have found various forms of relaxation wherein my creativity has been allowed to regenerate, oftentimes expressively taking on a shape of its own. A Box In The Sea.

Decades of sonic exploration and tinkering with computer code, a buoyancy I have sought to tap out into a keyboard, which through the wizardry of electronica echoes as audio and once again loops back upon itself in ink, a temporal yet poetic cartesian process of mechanized imaging that ghosts and glides itself across space, surfaces, and provides an oceanic murmur of what lingers deep within. Each image, balances the vastness outlined above and holds in it a digital attenuated pattern, the result of a visceral compulsion, a conductor's baton in contemporary interplay of electronic human expression and physical activity.
