Album Notes & Community Reviews
The second installment in the American multi-instrumentalist's site-specific instrumental series was recorded entirely while wading under the Hyperion Bridge in the Los Angeles River. The tracking captures his delicate, looping violin improvisations interacting directly with the natural echoes of the urban concrete environment and the sounds of flowing water. The project serves as an immersive, peaceful acoustic study of geographic space and environmental resonance.
