Cover art by Chris LeBlanc.

Envisioned as an exploration into a space odyssey soundscape, there is a certain foreboding in this music. Recorded one month before the devastating Thomas Fire that engulfed Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties in Southern California, the music perhaps picks up on the possibility of impending environmental violence. A kind of premonition to the inferno that nearly destroyed the studio, it also reflects on the precariousness and preciousness of a habitable environment. The region that this music was created in has experienced a prolonged drought followed by intense fire seasons and increased intensity of brief storm systems. This trifecta of environmental forces has tipped the balance of our region into dis-harmony, causing the tragic loss of life, both of our neighbors and our plant and animal communities.

This album is a reflection, meditation, celebration, and mourning of the idea of the habitable as we journey toward our new climate reality.
