2 CDs: Thirsty-Leaves-Bundle No. 2 - Hidden Thorns & Light / Well
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
2 CDs from the lovely Thirsty Leaves Label for a special price.
This bundle contains "Light/Well" as 2nd CD, an album I did together with Dutch guitarist Martin Hoogeboom. We both like silence and joined forces here for silent droning with guitar and eurorack. It´s partly a split CD - 3 tracks by each of us - but Martin also joined me on Lichtschacht III and Thirsty-Leaves-label-founder Moody Alien did a remix of the album on track 7. I enjoyed this journey into silent drone a lot.

You can listen to the album and buy it separately here: thirstyleavesmusic.bandcamp.com/album/light-well

Press-quotes:

"So, while Oberlin provides us with neither start, middle nor end, “Hidden Thorns” does provide us with a platform to rest deeper thoughts upon. That works for me."
