Trellis • Field of Coincidence 🫯Available NOW🫯 Field of Coincidence is the debut recording documenting the collaboration between LA-based artists Jesse Perlstein (Sontag Shogun, AxOxH) and Michael Robert Chadwick (Fake Sword, Plum Professional), aka Trellis. Although ambient in scope, these pieces employ pop structures, natural environmental recordings, and FX-laden sound design, to tell emotive stories in abstract auditory theatre. Between swarms of vocal layering and harmonic analog synthesizers, there's a timbral warmth to these tracks that feels refreshing in this AI-driven age of algorithm. This is not a synth album designed in a laboratory, nor on a perfectly grid-mapped sequencer, the subtle blemishes and analog acoustic artifacts that populate this record throughout serve to remind us that this is human music, made by people (friends, together), for people. Like Hiroshi Yoshimura's 1982 "Music for Nine Postcards" and his beloved 1984 tape "Watering a Flower", this music finds a delicate grandiosity in the private intimacy of a lamplit domestic space. Field of Coincidence flows slowly, builds in secret, and glitters with life around every measure's bend. At times dark and brooding, at others consonant and crystalline, this multi-hued suite of songs showcases the depth and range of a project burgeoning out of its fruitful first pursuit. RIYL: Boards of Canada, Pye Corner Audio, Heathered Pearls, and (of course) Hiroshi Yoshimura Trellis is: Jesse Perlstein: vox, roland ju06a, OM-1 cassette synth, various pedals & field recordings Michael Robert Chadwick: kobol expander, korg minilogue xd, yamaha sy35, lexicon mx200, roland DEP-5, polyend tracker Recorded & Mixed by Trellis in Highland Park, LA Mastered by Michael Robert Chadwick Cover art and layout by Trellis #trellis #fieldofcoincidence #auralcanyon
