about

This is a collection of field recordings made on Ofu, Olosega, and Tutuila islands in American Samoa. These were captured on my travels over the last ten years.

Most of these have never been heard by anyone other than myself and have languished in my archives since being recorded.

The vibe of these tracks varies wildly, from the near silence of "Ili'ili 3am" to the pounding, close-miked waves of "High Tide At To'aga" to the humming electronic aitu of “Music From An Empty Room” -- like traveling to Ofu itself, this journey will not always be a passive one!

Tracks 8-10 were previously released on other projects of mine and have been augmented with electronics and/or creative mixing. Everything has been newly remastered for this release.

Synthesizer programming and performances on tracks 8 and 10 by Terry Skaggs.

UPDATE APRIL 26, 2021: While most of my catalog is "name your own price" I've been forced to put a price on the three "Palagi In The Rain" field recording releases. Bandcamp allows artists 200 free downloads per month and these three releases regularly tap out that reserve. While I'm happy that they're popular, if you enjoy them, support independent artists and sling me a few bucks in return.

My youth was experienced through the sonic lens of '70s European electronic music, the ambient sounds of Eno, and the darker side of '80s new wave, post punk, and new romantic.

Today, I create the soundtrack for my life; an accompaniment for the existence that I've known. ... more
