about

‘Cohesion' is the second installment in a three album series reflecting on the many calamitous water crises affecting life on this planet.

Fifty percent of the sales for the three album series will be donated to communities that are at the front line of these crises, in perpetuity.

Multiple rounds of donations have and are continuing to be directed towards: cooperationjackson.org

In contrast to 'Polarity,' which was largely created by synthesized and electronic signals being transformed into acoustic phenomena. 'Cohesion' was constructed solely from acoustic instruments (baritone and alto saxophones, oboe, contrabass clarinet, bassoon, tuba, etc) mic’d and processed live to behave and sound like synthesized and/or sequenced sound sources. Using multiple contact mics, filters and overdrive circuits, even faint breaths and valve clicks are given a weight and presence that can anchor massive, heaving rhythms. The rattling irregularities of each horn are accentuated and fore-fronted in ways that make them behave like wholly new and grisly things.

------------------------------------------------
Many of the experiments and ideas for this project came from William Ryan Fritch’s work on the exceptional 2022 feature documentary “Newtok” from directors Andrew Burton and Michael Kirby Smith. We cannot recommend this film enough.

A link to this beautiful and inspiring film, as well as additional ways to take action can be found here: www.patagonia.com/stories/newtok/video-116909.html
