Brooklyn-based experimental composer Mari Rubio, recording as more eaze, releases valley and structure today through Thrill Jockey. The five-track project continues her exploration of repetition, improvisation and the possibilities created when simple musical patterns gradually change their surroundings.
Rubio has collaborated with artists including Claire Rousay, Faye Webster, Chanel Beads and Wendy Eisenberg, developing a reputation for moving comfortably between experimental composition and more accessible musical forms. valley and structure follows her earlier project sentence structure in the country and revisits some of its ideas through radically different arrangements in ambient and chamber music.
The twenty-minute composition "once you say yes to the structure, you never get out" demonstrates the approach particularly well, beginning with a repeating rhythmic figure that slowly changes as additional musical elements appear. Physical editions are deliberately limited, including versions accompanied by printed musical scores, rewarding sustained attention and quiet contemplation.
