sympathetic | DIVISION

"Wee have also sound-houses, wher wee practice and demonstrate all sounds, and their generation. Wee have harmonies which you have not, of quarter-sounds and lesser slides of sounds. Diverse instruments of musick likewise to you unknowne, some sweeter than you have; Together with bells and rings that are dainty and sweet. Wee represent small sounds as great and deepe; Likewise great sounds. Extenuate and sharpe; Wee make diverse tremblings and warblings of sounds, which in their originall are entire. Wee represent and imitate all articulate sounds and letters, and the voices and notes of beasts and birds. Wee have certain helps, which sett to the eare doe farther the hearing greatly. Wee have also diverse strange and artificiall eccho's, reflecting the voice many times, and as it were tossing it; And some that give back the voice lowder than it came, some shriller, and some deeper; Yea, some rendring the voice, differing the letters or articulate sound, from that the receyve. Wee have also meanes to convey sounds in trunks and pipes, in strange lines, and distances"

"There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened"

sympathetic | DIVISION is an experimental project which emerged in 2002. Heavily inspired by the ocean, Science Fiction and disharmony the project has been described as minimalist/experimental, but sometimes delves into more noise driven soundscapes. sympathetic | DIVISION's music is often themed around other worlds, whether that be real or imagined and an imperfect future before us all. Many of the tracks here are continually evolving, much like the artist himself, so make sure you return here every few weeks to hear something new.
