Bill Orcutt - Music In Continuous Motion [LP]

the] same person, same process, same gear produces different results." When pressed, he elaborated that the record features "no triplets," something I've yet to count out to determine for myself.Whatever overarching form the recording process may have mapped out, the path of the finished album is explicitly poetic. Echoing it's predecessor, the song titles, read in sequence, paint fleetingly-glimpsed forms-but in contrast to the distant shapes described in Music For Four Guitars, the present narrative spotlights the dance of polygons momentarily grasped (and then lost) as they spin through space: "Because sharp also smooth," "And warm to the touch," "Now nearly gone," "Yet always moving," "Impossible to reach." Ultimately, the key difference between the albums (and what places Music in Continuous Motion in the realm of poetry) is it's celebration of movement over immutability, of melody over form, of music as a hot wire to the heart rather than another upped ante in an arms race of inscrutability.-Tom CarterBill Orcutt: 4 GuitarsMastered By: James PlotkinPhoto By : Laurent OrseauRecorded Oct & Nov 2025 at the Living Room, SF, CA Tracklist: Giving unknown origin Unexpectedly heavy Reflective, silent Because sharp also smooth 5) And warm to the touch Now nearly gone Unfinished not fragile 8) Yet always moving Impossible to reach 10) Is left alone Barely there Or difficult to see UPC: 840526501953 Label: Palilalia Release Date: 3.20.26 Format: Vinyl
