Bach Cello Suite No.1/Tonal Aethers - Troposphere

Taking a little break from ambient music. Still pushing buttons with my toes. Let me know what you think!

Recorded live 1/12/16 in my bedroom in Seattle. All sounds originated from upright bass and voice. Looping and effects by Max6. A little bit of post-production done in Reaper (mostly to make the opening a little less boring).

Give It To Yourself - live looping

A couple of improvisations I did on 1/13/16 with Wolfgang @animebbq <3

Eli Ferster - piano 
James Vitz-Wong - bass and processing

An untouched space, an unknown history. Slowly, constantly shifting under your very gaze. Each time you look away, the texture has completely redistributed by the time you look back.

Candidly recorded in Warner Main Space after a contact improv jam 
5-10-2015 in Oberlin, OH 
edited August 2016 
completely improvised, piano and bass routed through James' delays 
later, cut up and rearranged with a couple more effects
