Scalar Fields contains a set of 20 compositions, which were composed jointly by us both.

The compositional approach on Scalar Fields is quite different from that of Bichromial.  On that album, we employed an open form compositional technique.  The open form is through-composed, with no repeating sections, motifs, or lines; the composition is continually evolving along a linear thread.  On Scalar Fields, we did not use any of the Open Form series or techniques; themes and motifs appear and may later re-appear in a highly altered, further developed; yet recognizable form.  Or not.  We agreed that some form of written, verbal introduction to Scalar Fields was important. Though we weren't sure that we wanted to pre-condition the listener with our words and descriptions, we did decide to include liner notes, unlike Bichromial.   After all, our words about this difficult-to-describe music were only that: our words. No doubt each listener will find their own meanings, images, and emotions in our music.   During the collaborative process of writing the liner notes, we decided to explain the metaconcept of how the pieces were conceived, and the two principles on which they were based.  Therefore, we described the two types of compositions on the album, but did not describe the background, meaning, or content of each singular composition.  We leave that to you, the listener.
