about

Initial sketches and improvisations were recorded at home and in the field and then sent out to friends for a counter expression - creating this patchwork sonic motion.

All sound was committed between February and April 2021. The resulting collage was processed through reel-to-reel tape before being mastered.
Thank you to Jonathan Deasy, Christopher Gregory and Jonathan Hill for responding to this project as you did and to Dub Cthonic for giving Oval Ladder a home.
