about

This is a collection of field recordings made with my portable cassette recorder in the summer of 2019. The music was made in Monterey, Santa Cruz and Sacramento, California.

All of the acoustic improvisations were recorded on six-minute loop cassettes, and the songs can start at any given point. To get the intention of the work, each song should be looped a few times.

This is roughly two hours of music recorded over the course of a few months. The master cassettes (only one for each song) are also available at my merchandise page.

Thanks for listening.
