about

Contrasts between acoustic and electronic sounds, ambient, world and neoclassical textures, dissonant and melodic lines are the core of 5p6’s first album. A collaboration between violinist Joe Bowbeer and guitarist/sound designer Scott Schaffer, this project was born in discussions of how to meld emerging technology with traditional playing in a way that preserves the strengths of both. Law developed organically over six months, a combination of sequential layering and live recording, all improvised. The result is a genre-defying journey that blurs distinctions between past and future.
