improvised and recorded live at Sleeping Partner Studios in February 2018 on a sunny morning. it was the first and only time this group played and recorded. the energy was buoyant. we were laughing. i still remember the sun filtering through the studio window illuminating the suspension dance of dust and flying insects 

i love all these people very much. everyone has taught me something. spring and the opening of flowers. there is a special seed in this music 


the original session was later chopped and edited in the fall of 2020 


The album art is a painting created by the artist Ann Marie Lowman (insta: @annmariel1234). I love their work so much and was lucky to be inspired constantly by her visuals when we lived together as roommates. Super grateful!!!
