Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as his first solo outing for ECM Records, the Oregon guitarist constructed a deeply meditative, multi-tracked exploration of the acoustic and 12-string guitar. The sparse, atmospheric compositions rely on delicate arpeggios and classical picking techniques, perfectly exemplifying the label's signature icy, introspective aesthetic.
