Experimental duo Disassembler is composed of This Will Destroy You co-founder Christopher Royal King, and violinist and composer Christopher Tignor. A Wave From a Shore is the project's first album which was created by the two musicians remotely, and it arrives on March 11th, 2022 through Western Vinyl.
First track In Devotion displays the combination of different sounds used in the creative process through tape loops and synth vignettes sent from Los Angeles to New York, combining ambient and neoclassical styles.
Christopher Tignor comments: “Like the other pieces on Wave, I honed in on melodic and harmonic qualities and then orchestrated it out with a ton of violin tracks and low end string samples. For In Devotion I also recorded these quartal piano arpeggios and transformed them with speed / direction shifts. Like the other cuts I tried to listen for the big form of the tune, to find it’s story, give it shape-- that harmonic arrival that came out of a gesture from Chris [King’s] original improv. When I heard him go to that chord I knew it would be the big moment, so I used it as such.”
