Gradient Wake by Kadet
All tracks composed by Kadet
Kadet’s most collaborative album release to date, Gradient Wake is slight shift in direction with many points of inspiration. Her background playing jazz guitar and listening to minimal composers is at the root, with particular influence by artists Chicago Underground Quartet, The Necks, and Steve Reich. This album also reflects freshly formed, integrated relationships with the contributing musicians as well as her new family triad. Spontaneous, improvised participation in which art and life are mirrors of one another. Exploration, exchange and release - punctuated by the processes of actualizations where the subjective existence continuously shapes and reshapes itself as it interrelates with others. Many of the compositions on Gradient Wake were directly motivated by Kadet’s passion for the moving image; Distill, Quantum Tunneling and Fight or Flight were composed for videos by Kadet, Intervallic was composed for a Super 8 film by Paul Clipson and Glacial was scored to a video by Krystof Pesek.
Gradient Wake was mastered by Ryan Kleeman using a combination of Analog and Digital processing. Each song was mixed through a Neve 8816 summing amplifier and processed with a Neve Portico II Master Buss Processor as a first stage of mastering. Digital equalizers and limiters were then used as a final stage of mastering to tonally and dynamically optimize the content.
