about

SAND, STONE, GLASS is an album that was recorded before it was written. 31 virtual instruments were designed and coded by the artists and used exclusively in the making of the record(s). The sources range from a refurbished abandoned felted piano, to an heirloom oud, to experimental found sounds turned into unique synths, to a borrowed vintage home organ dragged through the Milwaukee winter. Each instrument on the album has a story and, with their availability in the poeticdevic.es library, can take on new lives in others' compositions, allowing SAND, STONE, GLASS to transcend the passive record experience.

Ryan E. Weber (REW<<) composed the musical foundation of the album, then shared his version (SAND) with William J. Seidel (DECIBULLY, DRAMATIC LOVERS) who provided lyrics and vocals to the tracks. After the vocals were returned, templates with the vocals and MIDI data were provided to Scott Robert Allen and Eric Osterman (ERIC & MAGILL). Scott and Eric then assigned the MIDI data to instruments they selected from the instrument library having never heard what was originally used, composing and mixing their STONE and GLASS albums respectively. The result is mesmerizingly unique interpretations of the same 19 songs filtered through the individual artist’s singular aesthetic choices. Given the limitations of working with the exact same tools there is a universality throughout, but with such depth to the instrument library there is never a repetitive moment, as the same instruments are utilized in different capacities on different songs. This also allows the three stand-alone albums to additionally be played synched together (à la Zaireeka).

SAND, STONE, GLASS is a multi-dimensional triple album unlike any other. Continue the experience with videos, the instrument library, and more at poeticdevic.es/sand-stone-glass.
