about

Divergent Paths collects ambient and generative recording sessions that were previously issued exclusively to subscribers of the Vibratelepathos series ( vibratelepathos.bandcamp.com ) in box sets of eight sessions each. These sessions notably exist outside of the 'main' Vibra catalog, usually due to their origins as more unique or esoteric studio processes, sometimes involving the repurposing/reprocessing of outtakes or even damaged recordings that could not be otherwise released. The self-oscillating nature of the R-EW Audioholistics modular system makes many new things possible for audio that would otherwise be discarded, and Divergent Paths capitalizes fully upon this fact by providing a catalog dedicated solely to these peripheries.

Divergent Paths sessions are in no way considered to be lesser, or weirder, or more inaccessible than the Vibra series recordings - in truth, many of my favorite modular recordings to date reside within this series, such as 'Roman Fountains', 'Waterbearer' and 'Mesolith' to name a few. It is for this reason I've decided now to offer these recordings to the general public, after they have enjoyed over two years in the shade of exclusivity, although their pricing here, in these eight-part collections, is more indicative of their runtimes and the box sets themselves.

All Divergent Paths sessions (noted by their PATHOS ## catalog designations) remain available to all new and existing subscribers of the Vibratelepathos series, at any subscription tier, and it is my sincere hope that this material is able to reach as many people as possible, whether it is a digital exclusive in a subscription service or a more formalized physical collection such as this, as the entirety of my Vibra session work is driven by a desire to facilitate healthy and pleasurable escapism through the medium of sound, as an aid to sleeping, meditation, creative work, substance-led and substance-free gnostic states and even more intimate applications.

Volume One of the Divergent Paths series collects the first eight sessions:

PATHOS 1 - Amethyst Extracts
PATHOS 2 - Inverse Grey
PATHOS 3 - Inverse Grey II
PATHOS 4 - Mother of Cosmos
PATHOS 5 - Mother of Cosmos II
PATHOS 6 - White Nothing
PATHOS 7 - Kinematic Initiatives
PATHOS 8 - Roman Fountains

Information about each individual session may be found in the track details section of each piece, for those interested. These notes include contextual details about where and when the pieces were recorded, patch notes and other relevant specifics.
