about

Peripheral Lands hones in on sound ecologies; zooming in on the mingling of static electricity, fish respiring and nesting birds heard from deep under a port, phone interference in concrete walls, bat calls through an echo locator and the easing pitter patter of a coastal storm. It traces the attack and decay of sonic landscapes and resonates these patterns through the bodies of instruments, both virtual and analog, shaping the composition's textures, melodies and rhythms.

The record draws inspiration from Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain, which quotes W.H. Hudson: “To know fully even one field or one land is a lifetime's experience. In the world of poetic experience, it is depth that counts, not width. A gap in a hedge, a smooth rock surfacing a narrow lane, a view of a woody meadow, the stream at the junction of four small fields—these are as much as a man can fully experience.”

"A seamless interface between nature and technology." Electronic Sound

"Peripheral Lands seems to reject easy oppositions of humanity to nature." The Wire
