Description:

"Enneads is a New York-based trio featuring

pianist Phyllis Chen, drummer Hamir Atwal, and

Zach Layton on the rare 17-string electric bass.

Named after the writings of the neoplatonic

philosopher Plotinus, the ensemble approaches

improvisation through the ancient idea, first

articulated by Pythagoras, that harmony is

“number made audible.” The trio uses natural

string harmonics as the foundation of its concept

of improvisation. Harmonic and inharmonic

overtones, sympathetic vibrations, rhythmic

proportions, and resonant room acoustics are all

parameters of an emerging musical form explored

through Chen, Atwal, and Layton’s intuitive

approach to spontaneous composition.

Layton’s unique instrument, the 17-

string electric bass, is played in a variety of tunings and

functions almost like an amplified Greek Lyre (or

maybe a Baroque electric Theorbo), running

through heavy fuzz, distortion, and ring

modulation, while Chen explores the interior of an

amplified grand piano, producing rich

constellations of expanded sound clusters, and

the percussive attack of the hammers as they

strike the strings, running through a Rat distortion

circuit. Atwal’s drumming grounds it all through

fluid cycles of hypnotic pulsation and propulsive

motion that contributes to a hypnotic and

sensitive and tactile sense of temporal structure.

Recorded between 2024 and 2026 at Layton’s

studio in New York’s Hudson Valley, the material

on the Enneads’ debut self-titled record is a

distillation of the trio’s approach towards

improvisation. Throughout the album, harmonics

drift into slowly beating patterns, while dreamy

reverberant atmospheres evolve into dense

layers of distorted harmonics, recalling the

gravitational pull of doom metal within the context

of experimental music and contemporary jazz.

The first and last tracks on the album were

slowed down after recording, exploring practices

pioneered by Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, (and

DJ Screw) revealing temporal and harmonic

relationships within the musical landscape."
