Joel Gressel computer music, album release on Ravello, August 22

Joel Gressel’s UNMEASURED TIME is a compelling collection of 21 electronic works composed between 1998 and 2024. Created using the same custom Fortran-based synthesis software and a consistent pitch and rhythmic system, each piece showcases Gressel’s unique sonic language — meticulously coded rather than sampled. The album’s title reflects his signature approach to rhythm, rooted in geometric series rather than traditional meter, evoking the fluidity of speech or birdsong. UNMEASURED TIME is a rich, evolving archive of musical thought — simultaneously rigorous and expressive — by a composer who has crafted his own timeless instruments and methods.
