Human Oscillator, vol. 1 is a 4-song EP by (io), the side project of Madison musician Kyle Rightley.

"My ethos for this project was to work quickly and trust my instincts. Each song definitely has its own unique identity, and you can almost hear me “oscillate” between one extreme idea and another. This music is a departure from what I’ve done

Human Oscillator, vol. 1 is a 4-song EP by (io), the side project of Madison musician Kyle Rightley.

"My ethos for this project was to work quickly and trust my instincts. Each song definitely has its own unique identity, and you can almost hear me “oscillate” between one extreme idea and another. This music is a departure from what I’ve done previously with (io) and with my acoustic songs, and it will certainly not be everyone’s cup of tea. Personally, I see it as a snapshot of where my creative process is now and some hints of possible future roads I may walk."

The 6 songs on this album were released on Soundcloud separately from 2011 to 2013. Most of the material was written in 2009-10, and the original idea was to release it as a full-length album. At the time, it felt much less daunting to work one song at a time and make each one its own digital release. The songs appear together for the first time
