Piano, handmade electronics, tenor sax, couple strings.
I was after something tangible. Sounds you could roll around in your palm and consider different, complex, and flawed textures. Feel the weight, maybe even smell them.
This desire is probably a reaction to the dissociative nausea from the constant simulacra of these early 2020s. Like deliberately going barefoot to feel yourself grounded in a real place, as I read Andrea Needham did when facing charges for disarming a warplane.
Anyway, my methods to achieve these sound “objects” was to use a healthy amount of acoustic instrumentation with all its familiar sonic unevenness, to free sounds from rhythmic or thematic structure, and to give plenty of blank space around each note so the ear can reach in and pluck it out. A berry from a bush, an eyelash from a friend’s cheek.
Really though, a lot of the time now I just want to listen to the birds. There are plenty on here. Mourning dove, titmouse, helicopter.
“Hunter on the Wing” is a reference to De’Andre Hunter, the Atlanta Hawks small forward.

今作も当然ながら素晴らしいです。大推薦盤とさせていただきます。ピアノ、自作エレクトロニクス、テナーサックス、2本の弦楽器を中心に、鳥達のフィールドレコーディングなども交えながら、オブスキュアでイノセントなアンビエント・エレクトロニカ的な美麗音響空間にまとめ上げた、静謐メロウ・ポエティック気品のポスト・アンビエント・エレクトロニカ・ジャズ秀作が誕生している。やわらかくユニーク奥ゆかしくフローティング魅惑耽美な名作。音質、ヴァイナルカッティング含めて素晴らしい。聴き手の心象風景に呼応するかのような9トラック。トラックリストからもぜひ。The Necksファンも是非ともどうぞ。 (コンピューマ) (LPのコメントから参照)
