Release

Sample The Album:

About The Album: Most albums are all about hitting things. Drums, pianos and even guitar strings are hit in specific patterns, and the result is a dramatic and often pleasant pressure change in the listening environment. Release is a bit different. Things are certainly being hit on this record. It is music, after all. The underlying current running through the album, however, is the collected and heavily processed sound of music after it has been played. The title of the album itself refers to the last part of sound's shape, the movement from sound to silence. Release investigates this transition using sounds pulled from both electronic and analog instruments: mostly synthesizers, piano and guitar but also from recordings produced after the artist moved to Baltimore. These sounds were then processed using various audio effects, vocoders and electronic equipment before ultimately being mixed into this, final form.
