For this lockdown-friendly album, I asked some of the Bay Area's finest experimental and improvising musicians to record some of their solo playing at home and send me the result for use as electroacoustic source material. These contributions, seared, scored, scalded and etched, broken into shards and crumbs, then reassembled into new twisted shapes, are what you hear on this album. No other sound sources were used.

All proceeds from this album will be donated to the Bay Area Safety Net, a non-profit designed to help support artists in the Bay Area during the COVID-19 crisis.
