aLBUM iNFORMATION

Diviner began in 1998 as an examination of the

unconscious linguistic potential of improvised

music. Inspired by the likes of Coil and Nurse

With Wound, long time collaborators Joe Morgan

and Paul Smith pursued a shared interest in

exploring the psychological motivations behind

the arts. By the end of the year, they had added

video artist Mike Oder to the group to expand

their “vocabulary”. The group began a series of

one-time-only performances with the intention of

creating an ephemeral, non-repeatable

experience. Unfortunately, the strain of

constant performance conception became

time-consuming and unwieldy to continue and the

approach was abandoned in favor of repeatable

performance material.

In mid 1999 the three set to work on an album in

a makeshift studio in Smith’s living room, but

the recording was beset by frequent

interruptions and the eventual parting of Smith

himself to pursue more performance based work

with the group Sikhara. Recording was relocated

and the album, now titled fourteen doors, was

finished by the end of the year with synthesist

Jeremy Hicks as a temporary replacement for

Smith. Following the recording, two performances

were completed with the new material before Oder

left the group due to conflicting

responsibilities.

During 2000 and 2001, Diviner remained a mostly

dormant project while Morgan worked alone on

outside projects including the soundtrack for a

short film with artist Victor Faccinto and the

music for two dance performances by

Choreographer Karola Luttringhaus and her Alban

Elved Dance company. These projects would lay

much groundwork for later Diviner material.

In the summer of 2001, Diviner was exhumed with

the help of long time friends Alex Polzien and

Will Huneycutt each bringing a unique new

component to the sound. During this time, nearly

three albums worth of new, more focused material

was written and recorded. The group’s first

performance of new material in May of 2002 was

well received.
