about

A friend once described these recordings as “sounding like someone’s weird fucked uncle who is trying to get an album out on Windham Hill.”

This cassette is a collection of "guitar songs" recorded on a four track cassette tape recorder from 2018-2020.

An example that there is no end to the various worlds we can create with sound. Thematically, it looks to capture and meditate upon the lesser appreciated emotional zones/states “off-gassed” during the ongoing creative pursuit of heartfelt communication through obfuscation and enlightenment.

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest. Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character.
