After the 2014 release of the metallic-tinged electroacoustic compilation "Sonic Flux," EMPiRES sought to organize a compilation of music by composers and performers from the southeastern United States. Here in this second compilation volume, there is an overarching evocation of discord present across the 10 tracks, musically depicted not only in harmony and timbre, but also in rhythm, space, form, and contrasting characters of sound source elements. With this theme fortuitously arising out of the contributed recordings, it was fitting to use the title "Discordia," taken directly from the title of the album's cover art by Frances Jemini.
