Pythagoron

S/T LP 1977

" Rather odd, late 70s upstate new york “electronic music for healing” lineage lp; credited only to the corporation “pythagoron inc. 1977”, about whom we know very little (and maybe it’s best it stays that way...)

explaining the music enclosed... encased within, really, without resorting to euphemism is rather hard to do here... so i’ll just give you a rundown of what i hear:

the a-side starts out with a surge of white-noise. then suddenly out of nowhere an out of time echoplexed drum-machine thump begins pulsing... at first the echoes are out of time but slowly it coalesces into a near-heartbeat rhythm. a fixed flat-fifth realized with an octave-shifting organ/synth tone fades in, starts flickering via a series of oscillating square-wave vclfos, and the piece starts to gain momentum. this continues for some time before something of a bassline kicks in (more of a triangle-wave root-note pattern; incredibly heavy and super-deep, constantly ebbing and flowing) around which the “organ” tone shifts in tonality incredibly slowly; a new chord every 5 minutes or so. this continues for almost the entirety of the first side; shimmering overtone-laced chordal drones that, when they do finally resolve, almost immediately begin their ascent towards another tonal trajectory. the side ends after the root-fifth chord that the bassline has been suggesting all along finally wins out, and the piece slowly fades to silence...

on the flip, the same drone/thump-set fades in slowly and a new set of chord-patterns are suggested, only this time the side ends with a rather beautiful related-but-unresolved tone-cluster in a different key. while i’m sure there’s some seriously deep psycho-acoustic effects & “music-of-the-spheres” type mathematical frequency-relations being worked out all over this gem (for about an hour after listening to this, twice, at full volume, everything i heard sounded just that much crisper and i somehow became more aware of the upper harmonics being produced by every single electric/electronic device within earshot - wouldn’t say i was “stoned” exactly, but definitely... “beautiful...”), it works just as well as an über-mysterious, almost krautrock-ian machine-music study (timbre-wise, “cluster ii” or any number of later moe/roe solo jams are great reference points...) stylistically, i hear strong echoes of the sort of music that was being released on the japanese vanity label (think: tolerance, etc...) at around the same time but alas; any/all connections are purely speculation given the lack of detailed notes/personnel involved... any fan of zonked near-cultish exotica, “minimal electronics”, synth drones, etc... will do their bodies/minds/spirits well to subjugate their inner will(s) via this one...
