about

I lost my uncle last year during the first month of the pandemic. Not long after, I inherited his & my aunt's tape collection, about two hundred strong in a cardboard box, mostly 80's bands and loose threads taped onto blanks from the radio.

For a few months the box of tapes and I just stared at each other from across the studio, unsure of how to start a conversation. Then in a June-ish blur, it began and ended, twenty new pieces from ends of songs, hiss between songs, chords in the middle stretched to oblivion.

A road trip to Texas this July was a good listening / sorting environment. Ambient music sounds good when you're on a hot plain surrounded by four hundred windmills. Colleen Lee served as editor on this project, and she was invaluable: cutting, mixing, sequencing. Wisely cutting all moments that got too funky. I mastered, then made nine album covers before picking this one.

Enjoy, thanks for listening.
