SYNCRETIST: OSCILLATED LIVE LP out 10/25 + NY shows
I’m pleased to announce a new Syncretist album. Oscillated Live is out October 25th, with pre-orders open today. Oscillated Live will be available on oscilloscope green vinyl.
More shows are on the calendar for October and November in New York and Virginia – details below.
Since the cassette & digital release of Oscillated Incidents I’ve played just shy of twenty full Syncretist shows, from Norfolk, VA to Kingston, NY. Music hits different in a room with people really listening, and I’ve used that to continually rework the material and explore what feels true to my voice and how that connects.
Oscillated Live is a recording of the Syncretist performance at Bar Freda, in Ridgewood, New York, last fall. Over the winter and spring I kept coming back to the recording. It’s a snapshot of Syncretist live, one year in.
Oscillated Live includes the previously unreleased Catalyst as well as Wave Function, released this spring, and Artic Res-q, previously only available in demo form. Other tracks are from Oscillated Incidents, but all have been substantially transformed.
The recording was mastered by Von Hertzog of The Social Club. No edits were made.
Oscillated Live is the first Syncretist release pressed to vinyl LP. It will also be available for digital download and streaming.
And: shows! I’m playing a weekend of shows in New York in October. The first date is Friday, October 16, at Collar Works in Troy for the initial show of ARCHITRAVE’S new Future Ruins series. I’ll be joining ARCHITRAVE, VIOLET NOX and SISTERHOOD OF SLEEP; there will be immersive visuals from DERICK!!! as well as DJ RACHEL RAVE.
Saturday, October 17th, in NYC brings another remarkable lineup, at Danger Danger in Bushwick. Featuring the first live performance from RONTRONIK in years, I’m also joined by the fantastic DARLING BLACK and BUNNY X. The night also features a DJ set from Andy Diamond (DIAMOND FIELD).
Pre-orders for OSCILLATED LIVE are now open. Please check relevant Insta accounts for further details on those NY shows, and shows in Virginia to follow in November.
