about

This album ventures away from shimmery euphoric zones to tread through murkier waters.

I used string samples, hardware synthesizers, real-time processing, time stretching, harmonic manipulation and frequency shifting, amoung other techniques, to form these emotional, often intense, perhaps brooding sonic spaces.

Movements emerge from stitched-together narratives, fluidly connecting epochs. One begins a journey into a dense jungle before encountering many hardships and momentous realizations, being steered, discovering, forgetting, and ultimately flooding through into utmost surrender.

The chance is now. There will be no other.
