We Are All Fragile

A 5 track ambient album (40m 19s) — released April 3rd 2020 on CAMP Editions

"We are all fragile" was conceived during six days in Aulus-les-Bains, France. The surroundings and sense of space greatly influenced the impressionist tone of the recordings, which were semi-improvised on piano, then processed using a combination of techniques such as granular synthesis, spectral synthesis, non-linear cut and splice, algorithmic delays, harmonic reverb and feedback. Listen to it as a whole, in its intended sequence.
