about

Phaethon is a straight-to-field-recorder album from 2012 when I was living in the front room of a railroad style apartment on Driggs Ave in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Along with the sounds of moving along the floor of my bedroom and the clicking of looping pedals with my fingers, street ambience occasionally slips into the mix. Phaethon marks a period in my life when I moved away from composing music in DAWs and fully embraced the spontaneous combustion of electronically-assisted improvisation. The result is a slow-motion supernova that anticipates a lot of my subsequent creative output.
