Tempus adapto: “(I) modify time”
This album is to be listened on headphones. What matters is that the listener begins to perceive more and more minute changes in texture, the behavior of specific strands of sound, and start to notice their surroundings more specifically as the album progresses.
Tempus adapto is an album that divides the day into eight parts. However, these eight parts represent anything from a moment to several hours. The common thread between all tracks is that they explore change vs stasis. In the context of the album, change is defined as the disappearance or (re)appearance of light conditions or animal presence. On the other hand, the lack of change is not a complete standstill. It still implies a level of dynamic behavior, but at a such microscopic level that one change is not discernable from the other. In the album, the goal is to compare the two to bring out the disparities in our perception of time. Additionally, this album is meant to be cyclical—as there is no “end” to the day-night cycle in the near-future.
