about

This album is dedicated to my wife Melissa whose love & encouragement made this project possible

Previews:

"The richly ambient sound world at times evocative of early Tangerine Dream or Klaus Schulze, begins with ominous Moog-like drones which are soon joined by motoric, pulsating rhythms and eerie vocal samples. Melodic ideas emerge in the form of a bluesy guitar whose sound is remarkably transformed over time into that of an Indian instrument like a sarod or sitar. Especially on headphones, this is a hypnotic listening experience. A must for anyone interested in electronic music."

"Really enjoying the album - many of the tracks start out sparingly and then artfully build melody and sonic detail - like traveling across a desert and passing through a chain of verdant oases..."
