Signal Quest Hypermyth

Hypermyth opens suddenly with an enrapturing ambience of electronics, saxophone, and galactic clatter. We’ve fallen headfirst into Signal Quest's sonic palette, stepping through a flickering screen into wide open space filled with the blossoming collaboration between members Lynn Avery, Cole Pulice, and Mitch Stahlmann. Hypermyth is the trio’s second full release and their first under the moniker Signal Quest, shedding a placeholder acronym of their names, LCM, for a name engendering a more fitting ethos of their continued electro-acoustic forays.

Signal Quest began as a friendship and participation in the vibrant music scene of Minneapolis, MN before the three found their way west, landing in Oakland, CA. Their partnership extends to each other’s solo works – see Stahlmann’s electro-acoustic album “Into the Wish”, the tranquil digital watercolors on Avery’s project Iceblink, and Pulice’s astral saxophone works under their own name and as a duo with Avery. This latest release speaks to the synergy of each artist's input and a well developed language of improvisation developed individually and in union.
