Album Notes & Community Reviews

Inspired profoundly by the rugged, overcast landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, the acclaimed composer utilized heavily bowed electric guitars and piano to craft this glacial ambient work. The record's vast, tectonic drone compositions are incredibly mournful and cinematic, earning it a reputation as one of the most stunning atmospheric releases of the decade.
