about

Cincinnati is my home town. This album is an experimentation of field recordings with piano layered over them. The field recordings are a combination of areas consisting mostly within Cincinnati, a bus on my college campus, and news reports. Piano improvisations, which are layered over the field recordings, are used to provide an atmospheric interpretation of these environments.

Donations are always welcome. I intend for this album always to be free.

Since its creation I’ve described mallsoft with a single word: majestic. This album may be 7 years old at this point, but it’s still glowing with beauty. The perfect theme for the social third place we all cherish. frzi
