Jonathan Kendall
Bass Geometry Initiative is an exploration of rhythm as structure—where low-end pressure, dub movement, and reggae-informed pulse intersect with mathematical form. The album treats bass not just as a sound, but as a spatial force: something that bends, tessellates, loops, and resonates like geometry in motion.
Across its 20 tracks, the record unfolds as a continuous system of interlocking patterns. Angular skanks snap into place, pulses spiral outward, and rhythmic grids repeat with subtle variations, creating a hypnotic sense of forward momentum. Each composition feels like a different geometric function rendered in sound—circles, vectors, lattices, and harmonics translated into groove and echo.
While rooted in dub and reggae-influenced timing, Bass Geometry Initiative leans heavily into abstraction. Delay tails stretch like vectors through space, basslines bounce with convex weight, and syncopated skanks lock into modular frameworks. The result is music that’s both physical and cerebral—designed to move the body while quietly engaging the mind.
The album also reflects a broader creative philosophy: structure does not limit expression—it enables it. By working within defined rhythmic and tonal systems, each track finds its own identity, forming a cohesive whole that rewards deep listening as much as casual immersion.

This release continues Jonathan Kendall’s ongoing work at the intersection of electronic music, systems thinking, and visual rhythm—where sound behaves like form, and form becomes sound.
