about this book

Three-Way Association by Selfish Limbs is a book and four-track concept album combining electronic compositions, eclectic words, and minimalistic graphic artwork by Alexandros Tsolakis. Part of the Adventurous Music Books Series, it is the fourth full-length album by Selfish Limbs, who uses modified everyday sounds and unique field recordings in his compositions.

The album begins with spherical crackles and ethereal voices that sometimes seem to emerge from Nordic folk music. Choral soundscapes and soft, drone-like atmospheres alternate, while dark horizons meet soothing bass. As the album unfolds, clear written words, almost like lyrics, form a visual element and take the listener on an exciting journey through different times and fictional periods. They repeatedly dissolve into Zen-like swirls or dark annual rings on a warm white ground created by Tsolakis, a contemporary visual and multimedia artist working across fine art and optical experimentation.
