about

The idea of force governing the world, pre-established law, preconceived harmony, disappears to make room for the harmony that Fourier had caught a glimpse of: the one which results from the disorderly and incoherent movements of numberless hosts of matter, each of which goes its own way and all of which hold each in equilibrium.
- Piotr Kropotkin

Meet me by the pleroma reveals the usually inaudible difference tones that result from two pitches sounding together. These “sonic entities” affect our perceptions of dissonance, consonance, and tonality, and they are treated here as harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic material.

Charles Johnson is a composer and musician residing in Oakland, CA. In recent years he has developed a versatile analog electronic performance system, created interactive and intermedia work with unusual interfaces, and worked extensively with just intonation tuning systems – all with an ear towards finding faults and instabilities that might reveal latent beauty. Recordings of his work have been published by Communion, Amish, Merge, Umbrella, Phaserprone, Squealer and Threelobed and he has performed with Pauline Oliveros, Peter Kowald, Eugene Chadbourne, Frank Gratkowsi, and Miya Masaoka. Johnson holds an MFA in Electronic Music from Mills College.
