The second single off of the new Dim Peaks album:

Time of Joy evokes a place: trails worn deep by quiet guitars, whispers in the ear at dusk, beers on summer waters, the anticipation of new beginnings, light and heavy moments in an expanse of California sun and unexpected storms. There is a natural ease to the way the songs spill out and flood the room. Listeners be warned: you may see yourself within this album crying happily into your reflection.

Dim Peaks is a California-based band led by guitarist/vocalist Niilo Smeds with Russell Higbee (keyboards), Dylan Tidyman-Jones (bass) and Tomas Galvan (drums). Time of Joy was recorded in semi-sporadic sessions over the course of a year by Rob Jackson at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland CA. Overdubs and final mixes were done by Smeds at home, and the results were mastered by Paul Oldham.

Dim Peaks - Reason

two channel tape piece with minimal cello accompaniment.
A mixture of no-input mixing, recording the the reels and the hum of the machine (using a condenser mic and a contact mic) and sparse cello influenced from the sound of the active tape machine

The piece is an examination of the tape machine itself, the sound of it, the process of it creating sound, the spinning of the reels and the feedback from contact mics on the surface all encompass the object.
I ask listeners to be patient as they listen to the 25’ piece and take the time to reflect on their self and their own sensations. I ask the listeners to sit with this idea of introspectiveness. 

This piece honors Deep Listening and Pauline Oliveros

Tape Piece 1

Greer McGettrick, uses their background in visual arts and music to explore and subvert the relationships between composer, performer, and audience, questioning the conventional barriers that separates these. Their work examines noise and noise within the role of music; play; indeterminacy; and how they are connected though sociopolitical and queer lens. They are gender non-conforming and live and work in San Francisco, CA.
