Empty Vessels

Recorded live underneath the Jazz Cat in Monterey Park, CA on the 30th of September, 2020. "Recorded during the early days of the pandemic in an underground tunnel located beneath a shuttered hot pot restaurant, ‘Empty Vessels’ stands apart as a remarkable document of almost architectural sound, in a sense, with the natural reverb of the tunnel asserting itself as a third player in the ensemble. Indeed, the natural acoustics of the space evoke a palpable sense of isolation and uneasiness. Fragments of melody, wails, and strained breaths dissolve into extended silences, erasing themselves in real time before being built back up into towering columns of resonance."
