beautiful words from tim diagram himself:

Handstitched* update: Limited to 60 copies, offthesky is the latest artist to join the Handstitched* label with his new long-form piece entitled "to break is something sacred". It covers a twenty-two minute expedition, and is an interpretation of life, struggle, enlightenment, disintegration of the "being" (to break) and the quiet, calm spaces that we all experience in one way or another through life (the spiritual existence) [HS29]

The basic tracks for some of these songs were scattered through other music I had recorded over the last ten years.  Quarantine has given me the time to hear some of this music with fresh ears. In most instances dozens of instrument tracks were stripped away to find some forgotten core that made me nod or smile.  Then I started again.  All new recording has been done since the start of lock down and tries to put a sound on the subtle dislocation of a global disaster that is mostly (for me) expressed in my daily life as an absence, a taking away rather than a presence; a distantly felt thing.  

All tracks recorded and mixed at Shadowbear Studio.  Mastering at Black Knoll Studio.  Photo taken by Csilla Varadi.
