File Under: Rock, Metal, Drone For Fans Of: Pelican, Sunn 0))), Glenn Branca, Rhys Chatham. CHORD - A drone collective. Many players. One chord. The sum is greater than the parts. Consisting of Kyle Benjamin (guitarist for Chicago's Unfortunaut), Jason Hoffman (a. k.a. darkwave composer Anatole), Trevor de Brauw (of Chicago instrumentalists Pelican) and Phil Dole (of nber-dronists X-Bax) Chord devised an outline that lived for many months in the realm of conversation. With a shared appreciation for the works of Tony Conrad and Glenn Branca the group formulated a collective vision: exploit and explore the sonic depth of a single chord. Chord performances consist of each player being assigned one note from a pre-selected chord. They are then expected to consider all ranges of flexibility concerning octave, rhythm, playing style and effect treatments. The overall effect Chord generates is that of a single note being rendered into an unsolvable riddle - a harmonic Gordian knot that creates an almost pastoral feel of being blinded by the sun. The rejection of melody and structure in favour of sweeping and epic tones inspires a sense of rousing apprehension. Shrouded in the individual tunings of each player the pieces never become diluted, instead findingresolution in collective dissonance and consonance. To be inthe presence of a chord achieved is transcendent. "Flora" is their debut album for Neurot Recordings, and the product of their collective vision.
