Hello lines friends!
I’m sharing a project that I began in the early spring, during the first few weeks of intensifying coronavirus spread and the resulting sheltering-in-place. It’s a (very) long-form ambient composition titled sound habitat.
Its runtime is twenty-four hours; it was recorded in situ, at home, in single takes ranging from four to eight hours in length. The finished composition is meant to accompany a single day, from start to end, and its individual movements aim to be a kind of substrate or support for the phases of your waking and sleeping life.
Recording this album was incredibly therapeutic and grounding, and I hope some of this healing and regenerative power might be passed along to you.
I’m currently streaming the album on a round-the-clock loop, synchronized to my Pacific Western time zone. I’ll schedule some broadcasts for listeners on the east coast and beyond shortly!
Finally, at the end of the first month of broadcasts, I’ll be doing a short-run physical release of the album.
You can find the stream here, on “outer spaces,” a virtual performance space that I created for this project but will soon open up to community contributions!
Thanks to all of you for the inspiration and support! This forum has been a constant source of companionship for me during these weird and painful times.
