about

Each song is a single recording improvised in one take, and the songs appear in the order they were recorded. All improvisational, but created with a premeditated idea and arc of tone, dynamics, and mood. It was not mixed, but it was mastered for the sole purpose of trying to replicate the sound of being in the room, and only using the room's reverb. (Listening while driving the speakers a bit will benefit the harmonics of this reverb, but this is not necessary) The only effects used during mastering were two compressors, an equalizer, and a limiter. There was only one overdub, a cymbal track that was used twice and modified.

This is an album about water.

(Headphone or speaker listening will be rewarded in different ways)
