about

This record started as a way to work with Ebmaj9 open-tuning on the guitar (Eb G Bb F Bb D). I tend to think of music visually and the use of a guitar, microphone and the audio experience of background room noise/field recordings have a very literal, stiff, relatable and concrete character to me. When playing around with if and how I would layer recordings with the guitar I became drawn to the idea of bringing in elements from, what I saw as, the complete contrast to that literal and relatable sound space. The computer and synth processing felt like it came in from another universe and filled in the rough cracks of the songs, like a tide rising and filling up the space between dry stones. I then also started to consider how something like the guitar could transition from one space to the other through performance choices and maybe how the imaginary sound world could become more real through production choices. So this became an aesthetic direction which also then led to considerations of how those elements were going to tell the larger story of the EP. When using these elements together, I didn't want to tell a linear story of one element just transitioning into the other as I felt that something cyclical was somehow more true to the relationship between tangible and ethereal things. I was thinking of something that emulated being awake, falling asleep and then waking again.
