about

this project was inspired by the concept of locality: a phenomenological experience tethered to a particular geographical place (a neighborhood, borough, or city) filled with the unique people, sounds, smells, rhythms, rituals, sights, and memories that can carry great symbolic power.

our local environment can be foundational in our self-identification: a template for who we know ourselves to be, and our geographical and cultural anchor in the world. i wanted to write some music that sounds like it came from exactly such a place, and i drew upon my own relationship, personal experiences, and memories of _home_ to do it.
