• Digital Album

  This album was recorded in a small room in Helsinki as six one take tracks, using a mono looper. It was released on Bump Foot, Japan.
  
  "The two structuring principles to which Cycle Hiccups makes recourse are referred to as “puff pies” and "sound cycles.” He defines them further as "a specific way to compose and perform music, based on a certain melodic section or phrasing, which I then use to build an entire work, looping different harmonic phrases (which I call 'sound cycles')."
  The second structural notion comes into play as these cycles multiply. In Cycle Hiccups' own words, this shift occurs as the work gravitates along both instrumental and vocal lines, "which are [constantly] being activated and layered, one after the other (as so-called 'puff pies'), forming different kinds of polyphony."
