Additional info
Several tracks on this album draw from the aleatorically generated 24-note series 0, 22, 14, 21, 2, 16, 8, 3, 18, 9, 4, 7, 19, 20, 5, 12, 1, 11, 13, 15, 10, 17, 23, 6. In "Angelus Novus", all pitches and some rhythms are serialized; in "Prosopons" and "The Unformed Volcanic Earth", some pitches are serialized. "New Plastic" is a piece for four guitars in which all pitches, rhythms, and ~372 effect parameters are serialized. Otherwise, this album was written more freely than the last few.

The central portion of "Dissected Grace" is drawn from William Blake's Europe: A Prophecy. This album is additionally indebted to Morag Josephine Grant's Serial Music, Serial Aesthetics; Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day; Carlo Michelstaedter's Persuasion & Rhetoric; Keiji Nishitani's The Self-Overcoming of Nihilism; Walter Benjamin; György Lukács; James Tenney; Robinson Jeffers.

Jute Gyte's latest exuberant black metal magnum opus, Birefringence, is an apposite successor to Oviri, as it has more immediate accessibility to the listener while retaining its avant-garde ethos.
