This album is like a warm woolen blanket on this cold and gray day in Sydney.

Might I ask how you did the reverb on Engage? Sounds like there might be multiple layers of it?

one of my all time faves :slight_smile: it plays every day in my home

thank you forever!!

Bought one of the LPs! The beauty of the screen printing rivals the beauty of the music. :heart: It’s gonna be hanging on my turntable for a while. :blush:

Lovely album, I’m really enjoying it :—)
Also, the cover and video reminds me of my favourite scene from one of my favourite movies, THE VOLUME in Funky Forest – The First Contact: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCfJAGCa1P8

ahhh funky forest!! wow thanks for reminding me about that movie :slight_smile: my film buddies and i were obsessed with that when it came out.

and thanks for the kind words, too!

I had this album on at work the other day and my friend/part-time coworker, whose main gig is as a firefighter, asked what it was. I told him, and he said “this is great! I’m going to put this on at work when I need to get everyone to chill out and be nice to each other!”

I think that qualifies as a :100: review!

At a friend’s house for dinner last night, I asked them to put Cool Maritime into Pandora… much enjoyment!

@shellfritsch - My wife and I listened to Sharing Waves as we drove out of the Grand Canyon park area last month, in dense forests filled with fog. Perfect. I think it even (partially) got rid of my wife’s migraine :slight_smile:

have been thinking a lot about what makes this album ‘special’ to me in the time since it was released. been listening almost daily. thought to share. stimulate discussion 'r sumfin.

Sharing Waves grips novel moments and capitalizes on them, seizing upon patterns blooming from arcane algorithmic processes and drawing the gesture outward, beyond the algorithm’s established reach. the affective carry-over is a compositional confidence and presence generative music sometimes lacks. i’m grateful for this record because it actively displays the kind of creative decision-making that drives me toward modular while operating within a textural aesthetic (can we call it “rings into clouds UNABRIDGED”?) both fresh and familiar.

Thank you thank you thank you <3

I really love your music… And Kaitlyn’s as well…

I don’t know if it makes any sense but I feel some kind of Pacific Northwest nature spirit vibes in both of your music, in a way that seems a bit like a family resemblance. Not that you’re not both individuals, but that you live in the same “tipi” and the vibe is unavoidably interwoven, in a beautiful tribal kind of way…

I have aspirations in that general direction for my own music, so it was a lovely surprise to discover that you were a regular on lines…

Btw, I met you briefly at Berklee when you two visited a while ago. I was the older guy sitting in front asking questions… the event was in the modular lab before the show later that night… which I missed because I have a bit of a challenge driving at night… argh…

I was at the show but not the modular lab, so in some spiritual way our experiences might add up to a full one :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I just discovered this album today and already like it a lot: very dense, organic and calming. @shellfritsch If you don’t mind sharing, I’d love to hear if this is all Eurorack? If so, this is one of the most Buchla-esque Eurorack albums I know.

Is any shop holding physical copies of this? Or is there any talk of a repress? It’s a great record and 250 copies is unfortunate :confused:

thanks so much :slight_smile:
synths i used include: eurorack, op-1, volca fm, cs60, jupiter-8

i know what you mean about the buchla vibes. i’m very inspired by the sounds of those instruments. we have a music easel but it somehow didn’t make it onto this album.

@hawksquill there is a re-press coming…
