Album Notes & Community Reviews

Focusing heavily on acoustic ecology, the American composer explores the complex micro-sounds of the natural world through sophisticated recording techniques. 'Angels & Insects' exclusively utilizes pristine field recordings of aquatic and terrestrial insects, avoiding any traditional musical instrumentation. The resulting electroacoustic collage highlights the inherent, alien-sounding rhythms and drone frequencies naturally generated within biological ecosystems.
