*100 copies limited edition* The pieces on air signs are based on fairly minimal guitar loops with overlapping swells and melodies. Inspired by the hawk on the cover, which landed right outside the window at my workplace in a hectic area of downtown Toronto, the pieces are light and airy, reflecting the stillness of our natural surroundings in the midst of human made chaos.
The guitar loops on the album are mostly processed with a Chase Bliss Lossy pedal as well as a Vongon Paragraphs filter both creating unusual tones, overtones and artifacts. There is also heavy use of a Maneco 16 second delay for lo fi forward and reversed loops.
The title track introduces the album with slow moving heavily filtered swells, with melodies gradually peaking through, while "starling" has a steady bassline moving the piece forward. The album culminates in the final piece "dreamt i was born on a mountain", with melodies and textures overlapping softly like gentle waves.
