Static Sound Décor

Today I've released a new album called Static Sound Décor. A collection of songs I like to think of as rhythmic drone. On Static Sound Décor I consciously set out to explore the rhythmic drone ideas that had been at the heart of my 2020 release Experiments in Relaxation. In this instance I tried to keep a rhythmic center while the original motif spun off new permutations that were melodically related. I didn’t shoot for songs structures so much as air architecture; a space carved out that would hover in time that the listener could inhabit for a moment. The goal for these though is not necessarily relaxation or escapist by design so much as my past efforts. The goal here was more therapeutic and pretty much just for my own enjoyment in the act of creation. I've released this digitally on my Bandcamp and all streaming services, but also on CD. The CD version contains a couple of bonus tracks that will not be released digitally. I've also made a video for the first track:
