Matthew Houston They call these discoveries--they're right. A secret science seems to me to be the best kind of scientific inquiry: it acknowledges the truth that science makes itself, it also respects that science desires to know the world, but, most importantly, it knows how to keep these two impulses--making and knowing--distinct. It avoids the popular science error of making the world in order to know it. This is a truer, weirder way of knowing. Favorite track: Eighth Discovery.

about

First Discoveries is the debut release from Secret Science. A project between long time, cross Atlantics collaborators Jacob DeRaadt and Max Kuiper.

Jacob and Max are best known for their long running projects Sterile Garden and Les Horribles Travailleurs.

First Discoveries finds them in new musical territory, spawned from a conversation on creating more musical pieces, less rooted in the noise and collage works from their more established monikers.

More about the project from Max Kuiper:

"Secret Science is what came out of the ideas in this conversation.

Rhythm is important, but many times it is an element of a collage
structure, not so much a song structure.
Melodic\musical elements are present, but mostly reduced to essential
forms.
Secret Science is situated is a broad field in between categories, or
maybe overlapping a few of them.

Secret Science is, among many things, the soundtrack of scientific
discoveries - micro\macro-cosmos. The poetry of magnetic fields, old
photography and illustrations of science, lightning, sunspots,
fluorescent green light in nature, electricity etc. etc.

The name for me has many meanings, mostly very positiv – for instance
the idea of hidden knowledge that still has to be discovered – hidden
areas of the mind that can be explored."
