about

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

In early May, I started recording sounds of my daily life in confinement: washing my hands, sparrows fighting over seeds on the balcony, the stove-top espresso maker. Some of the sounds leant themselves to beat creation. I decided to play whatever I felt over those beats on my 8-string bass. And I ended up with an almost entirely improvized collection of slightly lo-fi chillness.

So. This is who I am when I’m at home.

Well, during May 2020, at least.

Special thanks to Nicolas Chaplais and Angela Sadberry for their unfailing support and encouragement. More special thanks to Rob Elrick for my amazing basses.
