Byron Westbrook – Body Consonance LP

LP edition of 400 released by Hands in the Dark Records. Digital available at handsinthedarkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/body-consonance

Body Consonance is the follow up to Precipice, Westbrook’s critically acclaimed debut LP from 2015. Taking a turn towards greater immediacy, this new album is far from “ambient” with ecstatic abstract rhythms as its anchor. An artist who also operates in visual contexts, Westbrook utilizes binaural qualities of the stereo listening format to sculpt three-dimensional sounds in perpetual motion, producing works that are both pointillistic and psychedelic. Body Consonance is a meditation on physicality, a virtuosic choreography of sonic textures, colors and shapes woven together; Bodies in motion, conversing, orbiting, colliding.
