Nous Alpha is Christopher Bono (Ghost Against Ghost, NOUS) and Gareth Jones (Depeche Mode, Grizzly Bear, Spiritual Friendship).

On the track, Nous Alpha shares:
“‘Fibonacci Failure’ was built off a rhythm we derived while jamming in the woods with a couple of branches on a large oak tree, which was one of our recorded samples. We began experimenting with a rhythm-based off the Fibonacci mathematical series; however after we had built up the arrangement in the studio from this raw woods groove, we realized we’d made a mistake in the counting of the rhythmic meter, and therefore the rhythm wasn’t a pure Fibonacci series. Thus the title.”

'Fibonacci Failure' is a track dripping with electronic experimentation but with a clear sense of destination. We hear rippling sequences and turbulent, constantly-evolving rhythmic passages that sound like a sudden rainstorm heard from inside a cabin. A duo with inimitable creative vision, dedicated to blending avant-garde, experimental sounds with jaw-dropping visuals, the psychedelic video is directed by globally acclaimed, NYC based, Australian composer and AV artist Ben Heim, who shares: "Every visual element takes an audio input as its source: sustain synth lines generate color clouds, shorter stabs generate expanding mushroom-like structures, while percussive hits serve to illuminate different areas of the scene".

Nous Alpha is a partnership almost five years in the making, beginning when Christopher asked Gareth to help mix two tracks for his project Ghost Against Ghost in 2015. "It was a huge task,” recalls Gareth, “but out of that intense experience Chris and I forged a spiritual bond and a musical relationship.”

From the beginning, it was agreed that they would always work together in person, eschewing the obvious convenience of distance collaboration between New York and London. The 2019 album ‘Without Falsehood’ was formed from a series of “duet improvisations,” governed by a constraint that any further contribution needed to be a second duet improvisation, resulting in a suite of layered, and yet uncluttered, tracks. For ‘A Walk In The Woods’ though, they set themselves different constraints.

“We had some specific ideas about this second album,” says Christopher. “We decided we’d work on a tempo grid this time around, rather than being so very freeform in our approach, and that we’d limit the length of the songs.” Working this way made the sessions for ‘A Walk In The Woods’ more electronic than its predecessor. Where ‘Without Falsehood’ used acoustic textures and familiar instrumentation, ‘A Walk In The Woods’ abandons those elements and adds synth passages, evolving melodies and skeletal, hypnotic rhythms.

Naturalistic elements, used as the basis of what could be called organic improvisation, were created by performing with found objects in the dense woods of the nearby Catskill Mountains, and the outbuildings around the studio. These foraged fragments form the seeds from which each track grew.
