Album Notes & Community Reviews
Recorded in a deeply resonant underground cistern, this minimalist masterwork captures the avant-garde composer playing an accordion routed through an expansive digital delay system. The massive, naturally occurring reverberation stretches the sustained tones into a profoundly meditative, oceanic drone experience.
