… the album

the responsorial is a 10 track concept album.
the songs take from traditions of American folk and minimal music.
it is about political and religious disillusionment, death and abandonment, and material apocalypticism, among other things.

… the recording

the music is recorded, mixed, and mastered entirely on analog tape.
we are using analog metronomes, tape delays, and synthesizers; the constraint–the music will not touch a computer or digital interface, performance to pressing.

… the release

the album will be released on vinyl and digital download summer 2023.
the recording process is being funded through preorders and donations.
you can pre-order any format, along with additional arts and crafts such as postcards, zines, and 1/4″ tape here:
