Matchess – Stena
In stock
$15.00
Whitney Johnson, alter-ego of pyschoacoustic voyager Matchess, crafts an encompassing work of psychoacoustic music with two separate releases. On Hav, an LP under her own name, Whitney compassionately radiates healing frequencies to inspire inspired response with an extended composition for sine waves, marimba, viola, Arp Odyssey and Halldorophone.
As Matchess, she presents the cassette Stena, reanimating fading waves with a collage of found sounds, frequency experiments and new music compositions. Rife with polarities and doppelgangers, considerations of biological and symbolic ancestry and the spirits that infuse places we leave behind, Hav and Stena are from the fraternal shadow doubles that are Whitney Johnson and Matchess.
