"This is my second album to feature on Czaszka (thanks Michał). Porta, recorded in 2016, was the result of two half hour experiments with my friend Tyler King's Yamaha Portasound PSS-460 FM keyboard, with just a couple of overdubs on each track. Plié is quite different in that it's a much more deliberate work. I started recording Plié after a fairly traumatic experience last fall that I'm not willing to go into more detail about right now. I tried to use my time at the subterranean CryBaby Studios in Seattle to process what had happened and reckon with it. I was listening to a lot of Ingram Marshall, Tomita, Alvin Curran, and Tangerine Dream when I made this, and I think those influences can be heard here with varying degrees of success. Plié, as a title, represented to me the process of bending without breaking, and maybe trying to capture something beautiful/frozen/haunting/ugly within the "getting better" phase. I don't know. Maybe the song "Ache" is what I was after most--periods of bubbling uncertainty, and a long, steady, never-ending lament that drags and drags and drags. This album is a kind of lament, and as with all of my work, I'm tremendously proud of and tremendously embarrassed by what I've made."
