Distorted drones meet a variety of more "traditional" instruments in this electro-acoustic set which melds ambient, jazz and noise music.

For this album I wanted to create something that had more bite than much of the drone/ambient music which leans toward the pretty or minimal end, while making it more substantial than pure "noise" music. The particular variety of instruments used here suits that purpose well, as the album includes saxophone, clarinet, guitar, theremin, and various keyboards and electronics. Through the distortion, there is always a little taste of a melodic line to tease you in while you revel in layer after layer.
