about

This is a blast from the past....so this has been a "long lost" record that marked the end (though not intentionally at the time) of the first "era" of Earthen Sea as a musical project. Recorded during roughly the first 6 months I lived in San Francisco in my bedroom, it slowly grew out of feeling a bit trapped by the guitar and loops setup I had been using for a bit and having a desire to incorporate more sounds and more structure (although still largely improvised recordings the structure coming after in pieceing together sections/overdubs into cohesive compositions). Anyway at the time a friend was going to put it out as an LP but that ended up not happening for one reason or another. So the music sat in my archives....pieces of it were repurposed for the score I made for my friend Steve Cossman's short film TUSSLEMUSCLE. Then a few years back another friend mentioned an interest in releasing a cassette version so I dug up these tracks but that ended up not coming to pass either so I figured now was the time to put this out into the world. Musically a very different place than I find myself now but perhaps there is something that ties what I was going for then with what I've done since and am doing now? Either way enjoy...
