M-Field

The "M-Field" project began with the chance meeting of two like-minded individuals, Jay (aka D-Space / Alpha Channel) and Rob (aka Rob-ot), at a loft party in Boston, Massachusetts in early 2004. As it turns out, they both lived within 2 miles of each other in New Haven, Connecticut - Jay working as a computer programmer and Rob finishing a Masters in classical guitar performance at the Yale University School of Music.

A week later Rob dropped by D-Space Studios, Jay's studio space, and very quickly a track was born. "Focus" was a song born out of pure inspiration, which dropped jaws on DJs and dance floors from New York to Boston, and eventually ended up in the hands of PsyBooty Records. "Focus" was granted a slot on PsyBooty's second compilation, "Serve 'Em Twice." Jay and Rob realized that they worked very well together, and moments thereafter, "M-Field" was born.

Technically, the album's instruments were processed through electronic analog gear that Jay had built at home over the course of about a year. The homemade gear gives the audio a deep, warm, and upfront analog sound on select instruments which balance with the raw digital sounds. Making the album as a whole an analog and digital work of painstaking detail. We feel that our sound balances well with Eric Dinyer's multimedia artwork which is featured on the CD case (and shown in our pictures here on myspace).

The name "M-Field" was chosen by Rob as it is a concept from one of his favorite thinkers, Rupert Sheldrake. Sheldrake is an evolutionary biologist who posited that all things in Nature possess Morphic fields, which contain within them all the information for patterning, species instinct and behavior, and evolution. These fields convey information through morphic resonant energies to each other, concordantly, each individual fundamentally draws from and contributes to a collective species memory. Rob and Jay feel that the M-fields of Nature and the "greater mind" have influenced them, and seek through the medium of music to pass that knowledge forward and enrich the lives of those who choose to tune themselves in. Sheldrake's "M-Field" theory encompasses the intent behind the creation of music for both Jay and Rob: to create a new paradigm for progressive psy trance, to boldly go where others have not gone before, to be original, uplifting and inspiring, and of course musical.
