improvisations. Our label is intended for those rare listeners who want to find

essential self, activating the work of the Sacred Serpent within each of the ones
attending.

series.

The Fibonacci sequence of

this CD is based on various translations and isomorphisms of this number sequence. From
basic tuning and sound creation, to rhythmic patterns and melodies, everything you hear
has a correspondence in the Fibonacci sequence.

RFCL - Treading Softly Against the Tide
The central thesis of this recording
is the persistence of attention through transformation. Once a certain degree of will,
care and intention have been put into a particular structure, this structure will carry
these qualities through any series of mutations and rebirths. .
A small sound structure (originating from a short improvisation session) is made to
undergo a sequence of journeys and to inhabit alien spaces.
