about

Recorded Live at

Aside Theatre / Phoenix AZ
Red Door Witch Room / Tucson AZ
February 2020
(A) & (B) are a single piece broken in two.

-----
This is 'Movement 1' in an ongoing work comprised of Ruehlen's winter/spring 2020 multi-modal approach using instrumental variations happening on top of and adjacent to one another in a live setting. In continuation of themes throughout his work over the last several years, geo-morphological concepts of deep time are distilled and exploded through sonic perceptions and an array of shifting musical tools.
-----
"The idea of the Anthropocene is an interesting thought experiment. For those invested in the stratigraphic arcana of this infinitesimal moment in time, it serves as a useful catalog of our junk. But it can also serve to inflate humanity’s legacy on an ever-churning planet that will quickly destroy—or conceal forever—even our most awesome creations.

What paltry smudge of artifacts we do leave behind, in those rare corners of the continents where sediment accumulates and is quickly buried—safe from erosion’s continuous defacing—will be extremely unlikely to be exposed at the surface, at any given time, at any given place, tens of millions or hundreds of millions of years in the geological future. Sic transit gloria mundi."

--Excerpt from "The Anthropocene Is A Joke" By Peter Brannen
