Ambient Layers Vol. II Record Release

Hi all, my newest piece, Silent Winter, was recently released on the fantastic post-classical/electronic Berlin label, 7K!, as part of their ambient-inspired compilation, Ambient Layers Vol. II.

It’s a gorgeous record and it feels amazing to be part of such a brilliant lineup of artists, including composers like Jacaszek and the duo Skalpel, which I’ve been listening to for years. I don’t release much slower, ambient music like this, and it was an exciting departure from the frenetic, ultra-rhythmic stuff I usually write. It still includes cellos (Anton Estaniel), flutes/piano (Elyse Weakley) and harp (Meredith Clark) in addition to a battery of synths and sculpted sounds, so it’s not such a wild departure from my overall sound 🙂

The record also includes KMRU, Loscil, Olec Mün, Wataru Sato/Gecko, ARIGTO, JoyCut, Cubenx, TOMAT, Jonsjooel, Dienne Bogaerts, Psycho & Plastic, Sundrugs, Inlet Industry, and Earth Begins x Stead x Gommarosa.
