EP-1: ECHOES & WAVES - 01/14/14

A water-damaged violin weeps as a ghostly orchestra tunes to the key of E.  A piano- lost on the bottom of the Atlantic for a century- strikes a shimmering, melancholy note.  Above the surface, seagulls scream as boat engines drone steadily. 


These are the sounds that haunt EP-1 from glean.  Many were recorded on the Belfast dock where the RMS TITANIC was built and launched; others were collected in Eastbourne, where her lead Cellist- who played until she sank- never returned home.  Some were created in New York, a stone's throw from Chelsea Pier where the ship should've docked.  The last were captured in a structure older than TITANIC herself: the Minneapolis Grain Belt Building, erected in 1891.


The individuals who compiled EP-1 don't matter as much as the fact that the sounds have finally been allowed to breathe.  During life's shipwrecks, we hope you'll visit our submarine.

love,
glean
