About this product
OVUM, the third released on Spotted Peccary Music and the seventh album by composer Jeffrey Ericsson Allen as Chronotope Project, poetically reflects on the nature of beginnings, seeds, and primordial states of being. As an archetypal symbol in art, literature and mythology, the ovum represents pure potentiality and possibility, the indwelling and self organized élan vital that gives rise to life in it's manifold forms.The sonic resources behind OVUM include a wide range of hardware and software synthesizers, acoustic instruments and environmental soundscapes. True to the style of Chronotope Project, Berlin-style sequences periodically emerge to lend an incandescent undercurrent to the harmonic and melodic narratives that inform each piece. Ethereal synthesizer pads paint cloud-like harmonies with cirrus strokes, while tribal percussion sometimes appears in the texture to propel a piece to it's climax. As with many of the composer's previous works, the expressive sound of the Haken Continuum Fingerboard is frequently featured as a solo instrument. A range of classical musical forms styles and procedures are employed to explore the central theme, including four-part chorale, minimalism, passacaglia, theme-and-variations and counterpoint.As the inspirational foundation of OVUM, the conceptual figure of the Cosmic Zero-0-it is absolute and undifferentiated Being, awaiting gestation, growth and differentiation. This idea is expressed variously in each of the tracks comprising this latest sonic manifestation by Chronotope Project.

![Bach,J.S. / Beethoven / Faure / Peled / Polera - Casals Homage - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/8e3d9c36-69d1-4e99-8759-e638ba132aa7.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
In 1915, Pablo Casals performed the exact repertoire on this album at the Peabody Institute of Music in Baltimore. Now, available again except this time, the Israeli cellist Amit Peled performs the works. Peled is a Professor at the University and takes great pride in not only his students but his renditions of Casals' recordings. The famous Casals Gofriller cello has been loaned to Peled for a period of at least several years and it is that cello listeners will hear on this recording.

British producer of exalted electronics Lapalux (aka Stuart Howard) returns to Flying Lotus' Brainfeeder tag for his fourth album. The title InchAmnioverseInch is Incha sort of portmanteau of the amniotic sac and the universe that revolves around notions of fluidity and the notion that birth, life, death, and rebirth is a never ending continuumInch. He channels these ethereal ideas through a new and ever-expanding modular synth set-up, effortless spanning tempos and balancing space and texture, injecting human emotion and layering recordings of weather, wind, rain and fire, to invoke an elemental, celestial feel. Howard cites James Turrell (an American artist primarily concerned with Light and Space) as a primary inspiration for the music on InchAmnioverseInch. He also reconnects with Icelandic vocalist JFDR on 'Thin Air' and 'The Lux Quadrant', as well as new vocalist Lilia on 'Limb To Limb'. InchFor me the real focus was that the whole record flowed,Inch he says. InchI worked on each song sequentially and wouldn't stop working on a session until they threaded together and told the story that I wanted to tell.InchSIDE A1. Oblivion2. Voltaic Acid3.
