Performing Belief

Description

Performing Belief is the fourth solo album of producer & drummer James Krivchenia, and his first with Planet Mu, building rhythmic thickets from gathered sounds interwoven with synths, drum machines and other samples. Electric bassist Sam Wilkes and double bassist Joshua Abrams bring the presence of a grounding human witness to the rhythmic undergrowth, providing a centering melodic voice to the gathering, blurring the edges of the quantized grid of electronic music. Probably Wizards Probably Wizards is James Krivchenias first single for Planet Mu after releases for Reading Group and his work as drummer and producer for Big Thief. Made from gathered sounds, synths, drum machines and live percussion Krivchenia carries a profoundly fresh sense of time, blurring the edges of the quantized grid and the generic boundaries of electronic For Unicorns For Krivchenias second Planet Mu single Bracelets For Unicorns, he has called on two contemporary mages of the low end: electric bassist and fellow Angeleno Sam Wilkes and double bassist/multi-instrumentalist Joshua Abrams (Natural Information Society). Wilkes and Abrams bring the presence of a grounding human witness to the rhythmic undergrowth, providing a centering and even at times melodic voice to the gathering.
