perfect seconds by perpetual mvmt<>snd

Recorded in the summer of 2007 as a companion piece to Perpetual Mvmt<>Snd's 2007 Philly Fringe Performance, "gasp," this album runs the range of lo-fi ambient, lush sound layers, percussive persuasion, minimal melodic motifs and digital experimentations. Perpetual Mvmt<>Snd musical directors, Mikronesia and Bilwa, took a year’s worth of inspiration from their dance counterparts (led by Emily Sweeney) and culled some live recordings and improvisation sessions to create new tracks in the studio inspired by the dance and movement of the group.
