Embryoptic is the newest Connect The Dots project by Brian Rowe who previously
released a cassette only album under the moniker Cartesian Faith. Embryoptic
hopes to explore the fluid dynamic aspect of music and how the contours of the
flow lines in the music itself have an effect of sweeping the audience into
another sensorial realm. The album itself exists in two distinct fragments. The
first half is the music as it was created, raw and naked, from the void. The
second half is an incessant reworking and remixing of the raw materials into
the another stage of development, almost in an attempt to reach musical
puberty. This is by no means suggesting that the initial creation of the tracks
is of any lower quality but only to serve as metaphorical reference. The first
versions of the tracks flow together almost seamlessly as if to suggest the
merging of various streams and brooks into the river of life. The remixes
stress the particular individuality of each tributary and serve only to
highlight an facet of a track that perhaps might have been overlooked
otherwise. Embryoptic is a fascinating musical metaphor which really needs
to be heard in order to fully quantify it's subliminal undertones.
