about

Armstrong uses Rachel Carson’s imagery as a prompt to contemplate ‘the interactions between the momentary and the vast, and of endless process as a form of saying’. Performer and listener are invited into this contemplative state in which musical materials, like ocean sediments, drift in semi-regular motion.

Mastered for headphone listening in surround-sound binaural format.
