Early Spring by Luke Loseth and Stefan Christoff

The process around this album emerged from a series of conversations with Luke over the last few years in Montreal around creative practice, including a snowy winter night organ move up a couple of flights of stairs in east Montreal. I had also shared some local community events with Luke, including a home concert where Luke did a beautiful hammered dulcimer set. I have been a fan of Luke’s evolving Holobody project for sometime now.

I documented a series of warm and textured acoustic guitar recordings that I wanted to share with another musician who could work them into a series of newly imagined works. I felt super lucky that Luke was into that, a true community arts collaboration. This album is the result, I am happy to share it.

The release of "Early Spring" by Luke Loseth and Stefan Christoff on Pyramid Blood represents a significant contribution to contemporary experimental music's discourse on collaboration, spatial dynamics, and the intersection of analog and synthetic soundscapes. The album's dialectical structure pivots on the interplay between Christoff's acoustic guitar recordings and Loseth's synthesizer manipulations, reconstructing traditional notions of duet performance.
