songs for a friend

resonator heart

i'll start this all off with an older one.  "resonator heart" was a sound collage-type project i did a few years ago.  primarily banjo and organ, all instrumental.  i started off with an idea in my head, but naturally got distracted and strayed from that.


to me, this was [supposed to be] a rustic, american recording. i have an obsession with the american west. not that this is really the american west. it was just something i had in mind when i was recording it.  the instrumentation also isn't quite that of the american west, but i have limited access to sound-makers.
