Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded entirely outdoors within the natural acoustics of Utah's Coyote Gulch, this purely instrumental project highlights the renowned multi-instrumentalist's improvisational skills. Bird utilizes solitary violin playing, whistling, and subtle field recordings to interact organically with the canyon's immense reverberation. It serves as a deeply atmospheric, highly minimalist, and wonderfully playful exploration of environmental sound.
