farrowking37 listening to these tracks clears my mind and sets me at ease. it's like a salve for a busy mind, giving me a moments respite. I'm glad our dear friend, the medic, has decided to share these.

a skeleton this whole album is indescribably beautiful in a way that is able to transfer bad feelings from my body and mind and replace them with peace. I have become very partial to "soft rains", and I put it on whenever I feel my anxiety rising. incredibly powerful album, an audible manifestation of kindness and care. Favorite track: there will come soft rains.

David Dellacroce Dreamy soundscapes, both relaxing and contemplative. Textural and atmospheric, ranging from delicate chordal work to dense drones, creating washes of sound that fill the entire listening space. Great listening for fans of emotionally immersive ambient music. Favorite track: in a powdery haze of sunlight and crumbling waves.

about

chance remnants of the past 8 months' work thought to be lost in entirety from a drive failure

a found family huddled under the awning following a great tragedy that has stolen friends, loved ones, all that was familiar and known

these pieces, half-ideas, sketches and experiments were originally written as part of the creative process for multiple different albums, now joined together as they were discovered to tell a story of loss, recovery, and hope

treated with slight processing, cleaning, and suturing of wounds
