Album Notes & Community Reviews

In this deeply esoteric tape release, the prolific American sound artist manipulates vintage synthesizer tones to construct a lo-fi homage to 1980s new age spiritualism. The sustained drones and artificial choral samples evoke the eerie tranquility of public access television and virtual reality meditation. The project perfectly aligns with his overarching thematic deconstruction of hyper-consumerist nostalgia.
