"glass" (2025)

behold! my most incredible of achievement of foot-dragging

I wrote this album almost entirely in 2022 -- then it sat on my hard drive for a few years while I tried to learn what it was saying to me.

"glass" is my first ambient record. Most of the tracks are based around improvised eurorack performances, with minimal editing after the fact. This is SO different from my typical workflow (maximalist, heavily edited) that I couldn't really believe the album was done. I looked for more work to do, but none of the tracks wanted anything else.

So I sat on it for a couple of years, and finally got my shit together and uploaded it. The last track, "three hands (appendices)," is the only one I wrote in 2025. It was part of a multimedia conversation with my friend Harmony. I didn't expect the track to go anywhere else so soon, but it felt like the perfect mirror to the opening track "beam."
