An enthralling, diverse listening experience infused with contemplative moments and pleasant surprises.

Where art informs a relationship between science and philosophyConsciousness, and other tricks of the lightmusically explores the scientific expression of abstract observations of life and leaves us with an impressionist tapestry of sound poems.

This new release by long-standing Spotted Peccary artist Ben Cox is an adventurous expedition through this intriguing juxtaposition of these concepts via the use of electronic instruments, where again science and engineering collide with art expression. Thoughtfully conceived and executed, Cox's newest work offers an enthralling, diverse listening experience infused with contemplative moments and pleasant surprises. The album achieves a delicate balance as its six tracks capture the essence of moods that range from extreme stillness and space to dynamic motion, combining closed-eye tranquility with ear-opening revelations.

All carefully conceived through a combination of programming, software and modular synthesis, and more traditional synthesizer keyboards, Cox crafts his compositions with a sonic skill that lights up the mind and soothes the soul, delivering a thoughtful amalgamation of analog and digital sound sources. Occasionally augmented by electronic percussion and electric guitar, he achieves a provocative blend of styles and sonic topography that maintains a fascinating chemistry across the whole of the project. Sincere and unpretentious,Consciousness, and other tricks of the lightis presented with precision and purpose; a compelling musical event rippling across the neurons as it spirals deeper into the mind.
