The title alludes to the structural constitution of ropes as I wanted to approach the compositions so that they consisted of strands and fibers which form a unified whole. This was so the songs could have the appearance of being either taut or slack without being fundamentally locked to a grid. So the sounds\/tones have a certain malleability to them and sound like they're bending through time. It's also grittier and more distorted than my previous albums. I wanted to try and capture that moment in nature and society where life slowly reemerges through desolation, so it has a layer of optimism looming underneath. The music represents this by seemingly decaying at times but then reforms and morphs in a fluid way back to it's original state. I was also inspired by the movement of rivers, particularly their transformative aspect and how they're in a state of flux and change, in particular the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland where I live, which notoriously caught on fire thirteen times because of industrial pollution in the 1960s and before. I was very interested in the dichotomy of oil and water and the resulting, unnatural symptoms of human industry. It's a very personal record for me as it is a reflection of my hometown where I grew up and where it was mostly recorded.\"-Steve Hauschildt.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Horizon of Appearances \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Same River Twice \u003cbr\u003e1.3 A False Seeming \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Ketracel \u003cbr\u003e1.5 Time We Have \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Strands \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Transcience of Earthly Joys \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Die in Fascination\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steve Hauschildt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32415915638855,"sku":"31524506","price":17.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3460132.jpg?v=1747406318","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/steve-hauschildt-strands-1","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
