DUODYME by HlessthanBs

It is recommended you listen to the album in its entirety before reading the statement.

For the supplemental viewing experience, please see the youtube release of DUODYME -- https://youtu.be/bgBfPfc6X1Y

DUODYME was created over the course of several months in mid-2024. It can be seen as a successor, or a commentary, or a response, or a rebuttal, or a parody, or a sequel, or, on that note, a prequel -- a sister, a second act, a flavour pairing, a solution, a question, a postscript, an echo, an epilogue, or a reference to my previous album S16TEEN.

Where S16TEEN played with time by having several different ideas limited to the same timeframe (The titular 16 seconds) DUODYME explores one idea spread out across 20 different timeframes. DUODYME, like S16TEEN, was composed digitally (though some tracks do involve live recording) in one file. Every track exists as one large file on my computer harddrive, numbering 18,516 kilobytes as a project file, and 1,085,274 kilobytes when exported as a WAV.

This is all to say DUODYME is a work of the heart, as S16TEEN was, and if S16TEEN was a self-portrait told through 256 frames, DUODYME is a portrait told in just one. Because of the nature of its creation, the tracks are much less like trees in a forest and much more like the concentric rings of a singular tree. Each one may bend or contract depending upon the conditions of how it formed, but each one is irrevocably and unmistakably DUODYME.

Thank you for listening.
