Title Description:
"The division of the continuous must not be taken as of sand dividing into grains, but as that of a sheet of paper or of a tunic in folds, in such a way that an infinite number of folds can be produced, some smaller than others, but without the body ever dissolving into points or minima" -Leibniz
The Fold is a pleat, or demarcation in a continuous form. It implies continuity, not discrete parts. A folded line never dissolves into striated points, it retains the fluidity of the wholeness 1. Although we can notice a difference or small friction in the surface, the line is never sacrificed.
Willits' trademark sound is the result of a melodic guitar lines, folded into and on top of each other in real-time. The rhythmic structure of the music is generated from this process. The light pinprick transients, (creases in the body), reveal the reorganization of melodic/harmonic passages. These are the demarcations or an artifact of a rearranging plane of sound, and emerge from the process of folding. Similar to a folded sheet of paper, the music is simultaneously fragmented and continuous. Melody and rhythm are folded into each other, they coincide and interlock.
