about

This release combines two live performances recorded during a live video streaming event during the early covid-19 pandemic.
Now in remastered version they come together as one release.

As with most of his music, with these live recordings Orphax explores the themes of time and spatially through minimalism. In this exploration, the listener is submerged in the sound in such a way that the essence of time and space are forgotten.

Both performances were improvised live with various synths, organs, and effects.

Embraced Imperfections I was previously released digitally as Embraced Imperfections.
Embraced Imperfections II was previously released digitally as Live in your living room.
