Unio Mystica by BananaAcid

Unio Mystica was recorded by BananaAcid on a sunlit afternoon in August 2024 at Erez Dessel’s home in Chicago, IL. The five-hour recording session was self-recorded on cassette tape and documents a total of three 1-hour improvisations. Those improvisations were then fragmented into 10 pieces, shuffled and reassembled, before being layered with found sounds drawn from the very cassette machine that documented them. At once anarchic, intimate, and enigmatic, Unio Mystica is the personal creation of five musicians connected and propelled by the message of love, community, and conversation.
