about

Initially, ambitiously, quixotically conceived as a concept album about an imaginary island landscape, inspired by children's books and RPGs. I even had a map sketched up with locales and everything. Anyhow. In its final, more practical form, "DREAMER'S ATLAS" finds itself grounded in the quiet moments and everyday wonders of real world.

***

"NORTHLAND THEME"
from early 2018, one of the first recordings made in our current home. dusted off and refurbished, nostalgic attachment intact.

"THE TOWN SQUARE (REVISITED)"
something of a patchwork pieced together from bits of field recordings and orphaned drones recorded summer 2019, plus an exciting and more fully-formed midsection that really tied everything together quite nicely.

"AVALON'S AVENUE"
ambient music for babies. made in the immediate weeks prior to and after the birth of my daughter.

"(NIGHT LOOP)"
undeveloped beyond this point, but I could not bring myself to abandon it.

"PERFECT AIR"
recorded and spliced together in several very caffeinated hours on an anticipatory spring day in 2019.

"WORLD MAP"
a brief, rescued ambient piece with some blown out birds. I think that's what they are, anyway. I completely forget where that bit comes from.
