Two Tides by Kathryn Shuman & Alex Wand
Release show at Solarc Brewery on March 23rd!
"Two Tides" is a meditative journey in which ethereal tones float serenely over field recordings of the sea. Like the rolling of the tide beneath the waves, Kathryn Shuman's vocals and Alex Wand's viola da gamba form subtle currents that draw the listener from moment to moment. Recorded in Los Angeles and Santa Cruz, California, this piece explores the ocean's contrasts, ebbing and flowing between the fleeting and the timeless.
-Rooftop Garden Revue (Erik Miron)
“We were thinking a lot about temporality when we made this. The irregular rhythms of the waves overlapping with the longer-scale time of the grotto in which they were recorded (Mitchell’s Cove in Santa Cruz). The grotto, carved out by the tides over many years, became the resonant body for the sounds of those same waves in the piece.”
-Rufus Dumont and Katshu
The album will release on SADFAM Records and we’ll be celebrating with a performance at Solarc Brewery in Los Angeles on March 23rd wsg/Steve Blum. See you there!
Up next on SADFAM Records is a release by Marshweed (Heather Lockie and ensemble). “Point of Contact” is an absolutely legendary album that we can’t wait for you to hear. Release show at MorYork on April 25th!
