‘Threewave’ is the complete synth trilogy from 36, gathering three interconnected releases that trace a single evolving vision across five years: Wave Variations (PITP36, 2020), Symmetry Systems (PITP V052, 2022), and Reality Engine (PITP V055, 2024). Built on self imposed limitations and a tightly curated palette of melodic, synth driven textures, the trilogy unfolds like a unified suite of short form transmissions, where each piece directly informs the next. From the tide like, minimalist vignettes of Wave Variations to the warm machine nostalgia of Symmetry Systems (inspired by Warp’s early Artificial Intelligence era), 36 maintains an unmistakably human touch within the circuitry, balancing melancholic keys with luminous atmosphere. The arc culminates in Reality Engine, where the trilogy’s “melodic, melancholy machine sound” expands into broader thematic terrain, exploring artificial intelligence, perception, and the blurred boundary between the real and the imagined. Together, this trilogy of sound stands as a defining chapter in the shared story of 36 and Past Inside the Present, a partnership built on trust, artistic freedom, and a mutual devotion to timeless, emotionally resonant sound.
