about

Spreading Activation: Every word is surrounded by a host of ghost words, half-words, shades of meanings and phonetic similarities. In the moment before meaning is grasped, all these possible phantom words exist equally. Linguists refer to this as "Spreading Activation." These four tracks explore this blurry realm of ASMR-ish whispers, suggestions, semantic connotations, alternatives, and resonances.

The CD includes "Second Thought" which was released digtially in 2021.
