‘Quimby Variations, Vol. 1’ documents a month of live electronic improvisations, recorded throughout May 2025 using a modular synthesizer and other hardware equipment. Captured in single takes with minimal editing, each track is labeled with the date in which it was made, forming a semi-chronological archive of sonic experiments.
The cover artwork merges two black & white film photographs in a dreamlike double exposure – a pastoral scene of cows grazing in a field atop a snapshot of Knoxville, Tennessee’s historic southern railway station – creating a surreal image that echoes the music’s own layered textures, imperfect alignments, and embrace of happy accidents.
Originally shared as unmastered continuous mixes in four parts on SoundCloud, Quimby Variations is now available in newly mastered form via Noble Circuit Records on digital streaming, high-resolution download and cassette formats.
