about

I made this minimal Neptunian soundscape using GENERATIONS, a magical little device crafted by a favourite musician, Innesti. This would fall under the category of generative ambient music, so I was surprised to find such depth & soulfulness in the abyssal reverberations, sirenic twinkles & creamy washes that roll along & cascade towards the horizon. I imagine it as a digital sea organ (like in Zadar), with me playing with the settings as if I were laying out the tubes in just such a way so the breakers would play their own otherworldly song. The sparseness in between each crest is sublime. Plenty of space for the listener to fill with their own ponders.

This is the first release from a larger project to come to fruition later this year. Each piece I finalize from it will have a longer form "unabridged" version, which I reckon I'll only release on Bandcamp. Shorter versions will also be released to streaming sites because they're probably more friendly to a modern attention span.

Much love & gratitude to Tove Jansson for the title inspiration and the trove of whimsy & wisdom contained in her books.
