about

This new reissue subtly retouches these two parts and throws in a brand new extended track, entitled "Meeting of the Moonwatchers". This extended journey was pieced together with a combination of field recordings from 2013 and a few new captures. The long intro and outro are designed to enhance the cinematic nature and ambiance. Once again we are in the backyard - of the house I grew up in - but building leaf piles with my brother and our niece and nephew. Layers of found sounds slowly enter and exit the mix, leading the listener on an equally relaxing and eerie journey. Sounds from space ISS communications, a water stream from Prospect Park, Morse code, and original piano drones emerge and recede into the horizon as the track ebbs and flows over its 12 minute runtime. Eventually the piece resolves into the patter of rain on an umbrella, AM radio transmissions, and the same backyard we set off in.
