For John and David

Exposition:

The Language of Birds part 2.0. Marc Lee's second album "Um..." is themed around qabalistic emanations and the tree of life. Traditionally epic in it's encyclopedic nature this album elicits themes of traditional modernism. incorporating themes such as modernity and post-modernity; of present time and timelessness; of infinity and infinities; alephs and Achilles; Sephiroth and Qlippoth; dimensionality and metadimensionality; intertextuality, the Sphinx' riddle and Humpty Dumpty's 'humpty-dumpties'; science and magick; stratified and interlinear; adulthood, experience; and maturity, of duality and neutrality: the commotion of City and Metropolis and the fuzz and hum of the technological and industrial age; pi: anode and cathode; the 20th century and the present day. Combining sounds both natural and mechanical, precise and fragmentary, field and studio; determined and aleatoric; the yins and yangs of musical composition. Of matter, antimatter and no matter. A comprehensive instruction in magic and philosophy for those who have an ear or two to hear. Marc makes use of studio noises, field recordings, solfeggio tones, riddles, cultural reference, gong baths, philosophy, the tree of life and the avant-garde and presented in a series of respective path-working excursions disguised as songs. So luxuriate and ruminate a spell in the protracted oblivium of a jacuzzial bubble-bathian sonorama and let your ears go wrinkly. A gross formulae for the reconciliation of superable antagonisms by inferring the contradictory immured therein, and a ripping good way to pass an hour of your current existence. This is the second instalment in a trilogy of records beginning with "Né" and culminating with "Qi". This album has a neutral non-polarity.
