Will Long's incredibly prolific ambient project utilizes manipulated field recordings and tape loops captured during extensive travels in China. The resulting drones are breathtakingly peaceful and melancholic, evoking the vast, foggy atmospheres of distant urban landscapes. It serves as an incredibly pure, immersive exercise in minimal soundscaping and geographical memory.
