REMEMBERING THE SEA
Album out now
Remembering The Sea pulses in slow waves that surround the listener, gestures that start in the distance but detonate out of the speakers with various levels of force, from a sigh to an explosion. At times, pulse forms into beats, moving with measured determination. And as the title hints, the music is never far from the natural world, nor waves themselves.
