Spectral Dialogues

electroacoustic / improvised / instrumental / experimental

Spectral Dialogues is a solo experimental electroacoustic album by Joel Kerr. A collection of 13 improvisations, the album unfolds as a series of fragmented conversations between the double bass and modular synthesizers: sounds emerge, transform, and dissolve, like sonic memories vanishing as soon as they are formed. Using extended techniques, the bass stretches beyond its traditional voice, murmuring, scratching, and wailing while the modular synthesizers serve as both a collaborator and a catalyst, responding to the bass and introducing layers of complexity and unpredictability. From ethereal harmonics to sonic chaos, the album traverses a vast emotional and tonal landscape.
