about

Gardensoil was originally recorded in demo form on a Yamaha QY-70 - an unlikely candidate for constructing longform, deep ambient works, yet an able tool all the same. The initial recordings were then taken from their cassette tape vessels and elongated, processed and nurtured to grow into the two extended pieces presented here. Intended to be experienced at low volumes, and mastered according to this intent, Gardensoil is an exercise in non-recurring melodic motifs that are presented as spaced apart events, organically happening and not happening, in an effort to distance the familiarity of the ear between tonalities. The first piece, which was previously issued digitally as part of the 4-hour charity compilation 3067 Megs at Recycled Plastics, explores the lower end of the frequency spectrum, over a backdrop of suburban field recordings. The second piece, previously unreleased in any form, inverts this approach in favor of midrange and higher frequency activities set against a nearly imperceptible analog hum. Together, they provide a lush and minimalistic sonic bath that subtly colors any room it fills - perfect for lazy nights indoors with a paperback, a cozy chair and/or your substance of choice.
