In 2012, GNAUMGN, pioneers of telesonic chronoplasty, recorded their seminal work "Remote Hearing (Time and Space) #1". The experiment involved "permeating the barriers of Time and Space with Occult Sonics", according to the liner notes,by "independently record[ing] around about half-an-hour's worth of improvised material... at different times and 143 kilometres apart", recordings which would then be "layered over each other... [with] [n]o edits".
In 2015, GNAUMGN recorded a follow-up experiment, "Remote Hearing (Apophenia) #2", in which the duo recorded five different pieces each, of around 3-5 minutes apiece (still, of course, 143 kilometres apart, and at different times), and layered their unrelated pieces (utilising field recordings, junk-drums, piano, synths, violin, washing lines, and a 10 litre tin of external house-paint) over each other.
Inspired by the success of these experiments in chronoplastic pareidoliasm, GNAUMGN once again decided to explore the realms of time and space with this, the third in their Remote Hearing series. In this edition, the players recorded around 20 minutes of material solo, and presented it to the other member - however, in a radical shift from the previous two excursions into Remote Hearing, in this third experiment, each player was actually allowed to LISTEN to the others work, and was actively encouraged to "jam along" with it. So, instead of being utterly unrelated pieces of music layered over each other, on "Agrestic", the results are much more deliberate, focused more on actual remote playing than simple psychic telesonics.
We think the results speak for themselves.
