At long last, I'm pleased to announce that my debut solo recording, Lunescapes Volume One is nearly ready for release. The record is mixed & mastered (we're just waiting on vinyl production to be completed) and will be made available later this winter, digitally as well as limited edition vinyl, CD & cassette via The Satellite Union & Psychic Troubles Tapes.
Recorded at home (mostly in the kitchen, on a sometimes unruly upright piano) the Lunescapes offer a series of instrumental vignettes, intimate landscapes, and lo-fi fantasies. Tracklisting & credits are as follows:
- Lunescape No. 13
- Lunescape No. 6 (for Larsen B)
- Lunescape No. 26
- Lunescape No. 17 (Taro)
- Lunescape No. 4
