about

"Every now and then I think, while I have of course seen them every day of my life, I never really saw the skies before."

-Walt Whitman, excerpt from 'The Daytime Sky'

The third free release of longform ambient music, following November's 'Creation' and January's 'A Small Fire in the Snowy Woods' (both of which run about twelve hours apiece) is 'Cirrus' - a more "modest" recording of only four and one-half hours, excerpted from a much longer overnight broadcast from October 29th-30th, 2022.

'Cirrus' differs slightly from prior recordings in this vein, due to it manifesting in a minor key, although to my ears it has never felt "sad" so much as "isolated," bringing to my mind visions of primordial Earth, perhaps during the Carboniferous period, filled with forests of enormous trees and dense swampland covering the globe, lush and alive, but absent of anyone like you or I to be able to appreciate the view. A reverberant intonation of stillness beneath a shifting sea of clouds and sunshine.
