Album Notes & Community Reviews

Conceptually grounded in the tragic ecological history of California's Salton Sea, the American composer crafted a profoundly somber and meditative electronic landscape. Relying heavily on distorted tape loops, submerged piano chords, and sprawling synthesizer drones, the album beautifully captures the decaying elegance of an abandoned resort town.
