I played bass and electronics with ambient music pioneer Jon Hassell from 2014-2020 and designed the final software-based iteration of his live/studio rig, which we used in the sessions for his last two albums, Listening to Pictures and Seeing Through Sound. This current album began to take shape in 2022 when I took the software setup I’d made for Jon and used it with my bass guitar, opening up new frontiers of sonic exploration. I also decided to take Jon’s approach to record here: each track is one take, with no edits or overdubs
