about

The source material for these pieces comes from in-studio improvisations recorded in January and March 2021. Plus field recordings from November 2020.

The first 6 pieces are a "suite" created from similar sounding source material that evokes images of underwater scenes. Immerse in them and disappear for a little while.

Tracks 7-10 are more varied in tone and texture. I think they all fit well together, and retain the underwater theme.

Forever grateful to Brian Eno, Robert Fripp, Michael Nyman, Gavin Bryars, and William Basinski. And so many more. And you.
