about

Having muddled through the indeterminate and isolated reality of the year 2020, The Evolution of the Arm found themselves at the dawn of 2021, longing for a way to connect musically while preparing logistically for the release of their first record, Sounds Like. Tired of meeting endlessly on Zoom and teaching music lessons riddled with poor internet connection and inherent time lag, pianist Michael McNeill proposed instead that they meet on the astral plane. The concept was simple: telepathy is instantaneous, it has no latency! Decide on a date, select a start and end time, and record individually, unable to see or hear each other on the physical plane. Something interdimensional happened on January 9th from 6:00-6:05pm, but they didn’t know what until later, when they heard their four individual recordings combined.

This EP, the first in their series of Telepathic Music releases, is a document of that first group improvisation on the astral plane, and of many that followed. It lives in a wormhole between the known and the unknown, where the attitude of listening transcends the physical space between us.
