CCCD (The Album)
"Although
I have released previous recordings, I have chosen to call this my solo
debut because with this work I have truly found my personal voice as an
artist. It features an extended excerpt from a recording that was originally
over one hour and 45 minutes long and was recorded live in one take using
live looping in concept and method. The length of the original piece is
typical of my creative process, and is the result of an improvisational
flow. As I explore, learn and practice, I am reaching for that point where
stream of consciousness takes over. When this happens, work becomes play,
and I can build, deconstruct, rebuild, create and discover, free from
inhibitions and straight from the heart. Often it is like walking a tightrope
without a safety net or a destination. Over the years I have imagined,
dreamed, experimented, practiced, and performed live looping, and yet
continue to discover not only its vast creative possibilities, but a deeper
understanding and love of music, sound, and silence." (Randolf Arriola
