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…

ahhh good to hear that! :grinning:

Thanks, that’s interesting. I think it’s both: sounds and sequencing. Anyway, you did very well without the music easel. :wink:

Been listening to this again lately. The last few minutes of Forest Bathing feature some beautiful sounds that are wooden, percussive, and reedy at the same time.
