About this product
Long accustomed to the rhythms of small-batch self-releases, Neo Gibson, who makes music as 7038634357, developed a meticulous mode of craftsmanship on their early albums, which they typically synthesized and recorded solo, seeking formal precision, melodic structure, and an idiosyncratic emotional tenor. But in 2022, on a European tour, Gibson began to feel that their previous work was too inflexibly itself for the aesthetic ethos of live performance; presenting their finely-tuned, studio-crafted work sometimes felt more like playing back audio files than communing with an audience. They wanted to perform a song that was not yet a fully-formed thing, a perfectly smoothed and sanded object-a song that could flow into the audience and come back different in it's echo. While on the road, Gibson began writing with an explicit orientation toward live shows, crafting tracks that were more discrete-rather than seamlessly stitched together-which offered crowds a greater capacity to push and pull against the setlist, and lyrically dense, which allowed them to experiment with variable vocal expression and highlight their instrumental-only work when it did emerge. The result of this monthslong process-writing, performing, workshopping, repeating-is Waterfall Horizon, Gibson's second vinyl record with Blank Forms Editions. Here, several of Gibson's signatures-sustained electronic instrumentation, digital distortion that obfuscates their lyrics, and a slow-burning ambience-are noticeably pared back. Instead, Waterfall Horizon exhibits close attention to the interstices between it's ten tracks. On it, if you listen closely, you can hear Gibson settling into their audience's attention and responding with intentional breathing room, treating the silence between songs-or between sides A and B-as reverently as any other sonic opportunity.

Neo Gibson records, performs, and occasionally produces under the alias 7038634357. Their music is characterized by it's formal precision, melodic structure, and an idiosyncratic emotional tenor built around loosely narrative compositional forms. Up until this point, it has been primarily self-released on small-batch CDrs and performed in intimate settings. Recorded entirely on their computer using digital synthesis and audio processing, Neo Seven is their first vinyl record, and could be considered their seventh album depending on where you begin amidst their prolific and fluid output.Within a runtime of just over thirty minutes, Neo Seven contains a spare, beautiful, and raw journey through and around the artist's emotive, psychologically-charged ambient songwriting. The album's seven tracks bleed into and out of one another, continually forming and deforming between ambient soundscape, song, and silence. As each track builds upon it's own interior logic, complex forms emerge out of simple structures, and layers of oscillations commingle and create space for each other. Pulsation is a major motif throughout the record, as Neo's heavily-processed harmonic melodies, gated regularly by silence, create an expansive field in which an interior, subjective journey takes place.

To be released on Abstract Logix, it contains a selection of performances carefully curated from countless hours of concert recordings by co-founding guitarist John McLaughlin and Shakti master percussionist Selvaganesh Vinayakram. Mind Explosion is a rapturous celebration of the life, music, and humanity of Zakir Hussain - not just McLaughlin's original partner in Shakti, but a brother and inspiration to every past and present member of Shakti - who passed away in December 2024. InchI am eternally grateful to Zakir,Inch McLaughlin reflects, Inchbecause he was there before the beginning of Shakti to the very end.Inch Mind Explosion features the Shakti of the past two decades - Hussain, McLaughlin, Vinayakram, and Shankar Mahadevan (vocals) - plus Ganesh Rajagopalan (violin), who came aboard several years ago, on a program of material ranging from Shakti's 1976 debut album to extended versions of two compositions from their GRAMMY™ award-winning 2023 album This Moment. Throughout, the revolutionary ensemble's virtuosity, deeply felt kinship, and entirely unique hybrid of eastern and western traditions is on full, glorious display. InchWhat else can epitomize the history of Shakti if not the final live recording?Inch McLaughlin asks. InchNow that it is completed, I find it to be absolutely superb Heartfelt, deliriously joyful, and masterly all at the same time. It is our greatest achievement.Inch
