Polyphony Più

Oscillating Illuminations

Album artwork for Polyphony Più – “Oscillating Illuminations”. The image is a triptych collage of interior scenes featuring vintage furniture, open windows with ornate ironwork, and soft natural light. The left panel shows a small table with chairs and a potted plant; the center panel displays a dining table with a red runner and floral arrangements; the right panel reveals a hallway with a mirror and chairs. A textured overlay gives the composition a painterly, ethereal quality. Text reads “Polyphony Più” in red at the top left and “Oscillating Illuminations” at the bottom right.

Released in 2016, Oscillating Illuminations marks the debut of Polyphony Più, introducing the project’s distinctive blend of electronic experimentation, noise‑leaning textures, classical motifs, and globally inflected sound. Across twenty tracks, the album moves like a survey of shifting perceptual states —moments where history, geography, and cognition overlap in unexpected ways.


The opening pieces set the tone: “Myriad of Tones (The Holocene of the Quaternary Period)” situates the listener within a vast geological timeframe, while “Neurotheology” turns inward, tracing the neurological roots of spiritual experience. “A Night in Bandung” and “6.1750° S, 106.8283° E” anchor the album in specific locations, using sound to evoke the atmosphere of place, memory, and cultural drift.


Elsewhere, the album engages directly with questions of representation and interpretation. “Cultural Appropriation" and "The Song of Hiawatha” examines the tension between artistic borrowing and historical distortion, a theme that resonates throughout the record’s broader exploration of cross‑cultural sound.


Oscillating Illuminations stands as a wide‑ranging first statement — an album that treats sound as both inquiry and illumination, mapping the intersections between science, myth, geography, and the evolving architecture of human thought.
