I put out a single on Bandcamp:
Clearing the NeighbourhoodI had it mostly finished around June and was planning to release it with another longer piece I'm working on, but I realized that I don't think anyone would want to hear a ten-minute piece after a forty-minute one, and that if it went first, it would set the wrong tone. So, I mixed it this week, Katt drew a cover for me, and now it's out on its own.
It's about the process by which a
planet forms. The accumulating in the song is inspired by planetesimals gathering bits to itself.
I thought of one of the themes while on the metro in Montreal. But I ended wanting something calm and variable so it gradually stopped being a train song.
This is a piece that I like to listen to when I need to settle myself down to do something. I like to imagine a planet fragment building itself up. I don't always do whatever I intended, but I do get settled, FWIW.
