about

Closing chords of potential songs one after the other, for acoustic guitar and a loudspeaker in a room. The pieces are constructed out of the transition from one open tuning to another and are inspired by Bolero songs from the 1970s. Recorded in the artist’s studio in Berlin.

“Its minimal improvisation poses an intimate relationship with naked notes, left transparent” (Toneshift.net)
“Top 10 Releases of 2019” (Joyful Union Cassette Blog)
“The balance between the clear sustains and the sizzle and distortion around the edges is wonderful. Excellent work all around” (Brian Olewnick, Just Outside)

this is a stunning release. so easy to be absorbed by the atmospheres of these recordings. beyond a simple capturing of these spaces, the mixing of different sonic elements lifts them to new emotional heights; a careful assemblage of environments that remain in your head and heart. ethan vaniderstine

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system! Dave Sewall
