Communing - Beyond a Friendly Conversation

CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD/STREAM FROM BANDCAMP!

This album unveils a completely new way of making music. This album was created in my home studio in Seattle when Aaron Cote came to visit in the summer of 2018. I recorded a collection of samples, and passed them to Aaron to stitch together one at a time in a sort of musical tapestry, which was further layered multiple times, until the final product came together. This is a beautiful ambient album that tells a story. Enjoy!
