Gregory Scheckler
Linger the Unknowns
Mystery persists. I wandered the woods around the Northern Berkshires and Southern Vermont, and it’s a gorgeous place, thick with vegetation, awesome geologies, and mammals. As soon as it gets dark it becomes hidden from vision, and a bit spooky. Nocturnal animals push through dried leaves, clacking their hooves and scuffing their paws. Memories of Spring fireflies rise and fall. And the imagination lets loose, dream-like, full of fictions borne of the inability to perceive through the darkness. And yet that’s a calmness, a wonder of night-time, and despite all the unknowns, I think it seems beautiful. I’ve made a haunting set of projects about this kind of experience.
No a.i. were used or harmed in the making of this music. Instrumentation includes field recordings and their making, eurorack modular synthesizers, electronic and electroacoustic percussion, voice, and other odd-n-ends. All tracks were performed, recorded, and mastered by Gregory Scheckler in the foothills of the Taconic and Green Mountains in the Berkshires of Massachusetts.
