*2023 stock* "This project would not be possible with out the support of Unsilent Desert Press, my family and all the ancestors and cousins who have been lost and forgotten. I hope sharing these stories with the world will help honor their spirit and stand testament to the effects of colonialism and assimilation on indigenous people. This album explores themes of echoes as a physical overlap of time, space, and memory. The noise of our environment reflects the histories of erasures of the indigenous people who have occupied the land, whose drum beats were silenced and replaced with radio static. It was made by recording the noise of the environment at each site through pottery resonators made of hand harvested and processed clay. The resonators allow the interpretation of modern noise at these sites and tune the echoes of the past that still ring today. The events at each site influence the composition, giving rhythm, pattern, and cadence to the progression of elements. Performed live combining pottery drums, FM radio, and amplified feedback loops using the resonators to echo out back through the desert." - Ruben Olguin
