about

(i got covid in the middle of putting this album together but thankfully my body is handling it extremely well. please get vaccinated if you haven't already!)

i recorded all of these in succession immediately after arriving at my parents' house from dallas on december 22. there is a "concept" to the album where you can connect the verbs together in sequence but at the end of the day it's just me recording stuff on my iphone, so none of the higher level stuff really matters. and speaking of effects, in tracks 4 and 5 i am trying something *completely* new which is drone but with a lot more distortion and reverb. there's a folk/drone artist Grouper whose stuff i really like, especially her 2 "A | A" albums from 2011, and this soundscape i was able to create strongly reminds me of those albums. in these tracks, the mid-range and high-range harmonics you get from playing low chords whose notes are scrunched are brought to the foreground and i think this results in a really cool sound. hopefully yall like it too:)

love always <3
