about

RESERVOIR: An extended supply of water-based sound collages. Built from original HD field recordings compiled between 2012-2020, this LP travels around the U.S. and presents nature sounds ranging from thunderstorms to beaver dams. Many of the core recordings for a few of these soundscapes were released in abridged form a few years back, but have all been extended with never-before-released sounds.

Besides the hydrophone survey of "San Diego Underwater", each track is over 8 minutes in length and rewards deep listening as the layers of audiophile sound unravel. All sounds were recorded in lossless quality and the WAV format for downloads is highly recommended.

Both the digital release and the DELUXE version come with a bonus folder of brand new images focusing on shorelines and behind the scenes shots of field recording treks. There will also be an audio bonus. Both will be emailed out to everyone (As long as the email attached to your bandcamp account & order is correct, this is where I will send the bonuses!).

Be sure to check out the DELUXE version which comes with cool, limited merch. Not only does $22 get you a hand-numbered CD and two small art prints in plastic cases, you also literally get a little bit of the beach. That's 1oz of beach to be exact: a glass vial of Atlantic ocean water, with a little bit of sand and small stones. Only 10 of these sets will be made!
