about

AUTOGENESIS is N TO THE POWER’s debut album recorded over three years in Harlem. With a wide range of musical inspiration (the Bayaka pygmies, Erik Satie, The Meters, Steve Reich, Fela Kuti), the 10-piece band creates intricate instrumental combinations of simple motifs, hypnotic interlocked rhythms and melodies which sound like the aural equivalent of Escher’s optical illusions. Sometimes upbeat and energetic (Supertonic, The God Particle), sometimes slow-motion and spacious (their 12-minute cover of Bill Evans’ “Peace Piece”), all of the music is played by hand on real instruments and then woven into complex structures using modern studio techniques.
