about

I had an idea for a piece using a field recording I made from my front porch as the backdrop for a longer-form piece where instead of traditional track breaks, I would just use the ambient noises to serve as filler until the next piece started.

After I was finished, it just felt like it needed something I could not provide, but I wasn't able to extrapolate exactly WHAT specifically it needed. I messaged Edward Spark and asked if he would take a listen and then do his thing, and he agreed. I also asked if he would then send it on to David Reilly (aka Cloudland Blue Quartet) for more of the same. Again, I gave no direction: I felt once they heard the piece, all secrets would be known. And I was right.

Please enjoy in a quiet place, with headphones, and preferably a cat on your lap or nearby.

Time and texture. They move seemingly somewhat independent of each other, but also quite cognizant of the other. Categorizing is difficult here and this listener counts that as a wonderful success. You need to wear your different ears here. Recommended! solemnland
