Polyarrythmia is an album or an exhibition or a selection of pieces, or maybe just a narrative in sound. None of the compositions have a strict metronome; there is no click or clock. The album as a whole has interlocking peaks, micro-moments and movements, and then larger arcs, which meet and then disperse. To me, that is very much what rhythm is, thus the name Polyarrythmia.

Polyarrythmia could be a musical. The whole record has this cabaret connotation, with the sounds doing odd things, stepping up or doing a weird little trick, or waving its hand and having a mustache. It can also be perceived symphonically, an orchestra of unknown instruments. After all, maybe we still have to figure out what sound is. Maybe it helps to reconsider that idea. Hopefully some people will experience this exhibition not just as sound-based, but as something physical as well, a reconsideration of perceptual signal flow. Jan St. Werner

Feral File  Polyarrythmia

&ldquo;&lsquo;Model Illusion&rsquo; is an immediately accessible track because it&rsquo;s rhythmically and harmonically quite obvious. I sent very resonant sounds through what is basically a midi rhythmatizer. The whole arrangement and structure is built on these resonant movements. It&rsquo;s a lavish and worked-out piece with internal otoacoustic micro-movements, and it has a Gershwin-esque twist to it. &rdquo; &mdash; Jan St. Werner
