Vantage Points

"Vantage Points" is an album about place, meaning, and translation. It is literally a tape reel playing back my memories. When recording this album, I heavily manipulated field recordings from several places relevant to me. I recommend it be played quietly, as a low-volume companion for your dreams and reflections... --- "Every day, millions of people found themselves deepened and dignified by their encounters with particular places. Most of these places, however, were not marked as special on any map. But they became special by personal acquaintance...I remembered what Ishmael had said in Moby Dick about the island of Kokovoko: ‘It is not down in any map; true places never are.’" -Robert Macfarlane
