dRachEmUsiK and I enjoyed our collaboration at this summer's Kansas City Regional electro-music Festival that we got together to record an album.

“Bluestones” is the culmination of a weekend-long adventure in collaborative sound design and music improvisation. This journey began with a strategy to record a series of brief lowercase “micro-compositions”, which would then be woven together into a longer tapestry.

This strategy became obsolete almost immediately.

As sound palettes were created, the duo quickly realized that brief pieces would not provide enough breathing room. Instead, each one was allowed to grow organically from the sounds used—a collection of analog synthesis, digital soft synths, and sample manipulation—fueled by collaborative experimentation.

The end result is a lovely mix of ambient, drone, and lowercase soundscapes.
