"It all started with a field recording
taken near a waterfall,
where the rushing sound
reminded me
of the drowsy hiss of a cassette tape.
Listening to the movement of water
enticed me to explore the poetics of linearity.
Each track of the album
is made from a tape loop
sample of the previous one;
what is to come
could not exist without the present."

-- Pier-Luc Tremblay

七月の波はすべてを拭い去った
あの日の喜びも悲しみも
僕はただそれを見ていた
二度と戻らないその思い出を
夜が明けるまで
あの波打ち際で

The waves of July wiped away everything
The joy and sorrow of that day too
I merely watched memories that will never get back
At the edge of water until dawn
~~~~~

video for "tangled piano loops 001" here -- youtu.be/2Ub_OavFUQU

--
In 2018 I was recording my piano improvisation
in my friends' suburb house.
It was sunny day, birds were singing
and children were playing outside.

After 2 years
I accidentally came across those recordings
and I felt something.
I continued acting intuitively -
My hands acted independently,
creating tape loops,
which then I use to record this album.

All of the tracks were recorded
on the first take,
in one session,
without any edits.
16 july 2020.

"This album is the result of a rich week of exploration in the forest,
by the waterfalls, in the mountains.
A week surrounded by my best friends and rich in hikes.
Improvisation and composition at the modular
and at the piano combine for this work."

video for "paper plates" - https://youtu.be/BcMMhRgBq0c

“Most of the sounds on this album
come from electric and bowed guitar,
with the exception of a few field recordings
and string samples here and there.
I've found myself spending a lot of time
building pieces from minimal guitar loops
and melodies during this pandemic,
it's been a very soothing process for me
during an otherwise stressful time.”
