“Artist, multi-instrumentalist and astral traveler E Ruscha V releases a hypnotic suite of flow-state synth improvisations for Fourth Sounds. Building on Ruscha’s 2022 collection Thinking A View, also accompanying an exhibition at Cedric Bardawil, Seeing Frequencies is as intuitive and it is experimental, as Ruscha follows melodic and rhythmic modulations like desire paths across 13 spacious recordings. Drawn in part from the CocoQuantus synth, built by a man Ruscha describes as ‘too weird for Buchla,’ Seeing Frequencies rides high on tremolo waves and organic vibrations, rooted in ambient, Balearic and Kosmische music traditions, while simultaneously engaging in a dialogue with the synesthetic qualities of Ruscha’ painting practice. Allowing the music to flow through him, Ruscha describes the optimum moment of creation as one he imagines for the listener too. ‘I really love when music forces you to forget,’ he explains. ‘There’s this beautiful moment where everything coalesces, and you just don’t think about anything.’ To immerse yourself in Seeing Frequencies is to understand exactly what he means.” Edition of 300 marbled vinyl with risograph insert, liner notes by Anton Spice.
