A.M. Architect

The name of the album comes from Christopher Alexander's 1977 book about urban design and architecture, "A Pattern Language." Its hypertext format encourages us to collaborate, examining how our environments and ideas form networks and patterns. A.M. Architect came across the book and discovered that they were generating patterns by way of their recording process. “We'd record ideas really quickly," says Stanush, "some piano, bass, guitar... and then immediately flip it into something new. Then we’d record more ideas on top and flip it again, ending up with five or six different compositions from the same source material. Those ideas became new songs, and the process would start over."
