A deep and dark song about sorrow and sadness. Initially written on piano, I decided to add dissonances and abstract soundscapes. I am very happy that Michael leaned into the dark theme and wrote sparse lyrics with a lot of meaning in between the words.

==== LYRICS ====

I'm on my own
Here alone
Almost at the bottom
How did we fail?

Did we change?
How are you?
Because I found
Something inside
Something close to us

It's only some words
Calling out 
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true
    
Help me
Help me understand
This new land
Desolate and blue

In the end
It's always been us
You and me
On our own journey

To a new place
It's only some words
Calling to me
From our yesterdays

Deep inside 
We knew it from the start
A love too good
To be true

Calling To Me

Your parachute works but a dimensional flux hurls you onto the smooth surface of a planet made of blue glass. Even here, you struggle with old pains just as healing water spirits appear as in in answer.

We often do some quite elaborate percussion ensembles within our songs which can get a little buried under everything else we do. The aim of this release is to highlight some of the more interesting percussion passages in our songs, before you hear the songs themselves. 

Just thought it might be fun to feature these. 

This one has a drum kit, tabla, tambourine, finger bells, finger snaps and claps, and some crowd sound samples.

Lyrics
You’ve been throwing words away like confetti on a grave
cos when you had a chance to wait but instead you got laid
now you’re so low and so down with no smile for a frown
but still Jumping up and down to stop the world spinning around

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me

You take your pills for your pain and drank hope for your pleasure
keep faking smiles in the rain cos no one can measure
all the bills in your hands and full holes in your pockets
while the lost friends you owned won’t let you stop it

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me

You swear yesterday’s plans are just tomorrows new regrets
and that worthless fools words get too easily spent
our best intentions have flown left no nest to be grown
cos you can’t teach an old dog to get blood from a stone

Breathe
Breathe
Breathe
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe through me
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…
Breathe…Just breathe
Breathe…please breathe
Breathe…breathe through me
Breathe…breathe through me
Breathe…just through me
Breathe…only through me
Breathe…breathe through me

I was angry, because I couldn't play this beautiful piece, because I'm lefthanded but hold the guitar as righthanded. So I'm happy to present this. With many thanks to Don for the link to the midi.

Through Glass is the result of a deeply collaborative and cross-continental experiment between Japanese electroacoustic composer Kazuya Ishigami and American multidisciplinary artist Max Devereaux. Rooted in contrasting yet complementary approaches, the project unfolds as a dialogue between structured sound design and spontaneous sonic exploration.

The process began with Kazuya Ishigami, who created a series of intricate sound materials, merging electroacoustic textures, noise fragments, and ambient field recordings. These materials were then sent to Max Devereaux, who layered, reinterpreted, and expanded upon them through improvisation, using field recordings, found objects, contact microphones, and modular synthesizers. Max's additions reflect his tactile and often textural approach, combining environmental sounds and lo-fi textures with gestures that evoke both intimacy and sweeping activity.

The recordings passed once more into Ishigami's hands, where he carefully deconstructed and reassembled the sound elements into finished compositions. His final edits shaped the album into a cohesive whole, blending raw improvisation with composed electroacoustic precision. He also oversaw the mastering process.

The album’s title was chosen by Devereaux, reflecting a feeling he has carried for much of his life as an artist, especially one working within the avant-garde. To him, creating art often feels like living behind glass: present but removed, able to observe and reflect the world with clarity, yet never fully immersed in it. This invisible barrier separates the artist from society, allowing vision without contact, insight without belonging. The music on the album, with its delicate, translucent textures and fleeting glimpses of human presence, seemed to embody this sensation perfectly, like watching life unfold just beyond reach.
