Out today on Audio Visuals Atmosphere - “The Field Out There” compilation featuring Giovanni Lami, Uaxactun, Alocasia Garden, Formless Hours, Lilac Pavilion, Head Dress, and a collaborative effort by Jeremiah M. Carter and I titled “Friendship is the Basis of All Action”. Our piece was recorded in Savannah, GA as a part of a larger body of work including other acoustic compositions and field recordings as well as instant photographs made within a single night in March of 2018 at Forsyth Park.

“Static shapes distinguished by the reverberations of an acoustic field of vision. Two flanks that disclose quintessentially the spirit of contemporary foundation.
Diverse pigments surmount a crystal creek, beginning in the first sunlit fathom and down into darkness. Utopian meadows open the treasures of a bright and promising dawn. Veneration scales the tide as a haunting pallor amid instrumental liquid. The theme is continually audible in the hemlock-shaped mountain.” •
