Shadow Moves

Christian and I have been building a language together for years now. Shadow Moves is where that language finally has its own gravity. This is our second album, and where Head¨Space felt like a discovery, this feels like a territory we now know how to inhabit. Extended vocal techniques, prepared grand piano, live electronics woven through everything. The acoustic and the abstract in constant conversation. Sometimes lush, sometimes raw, always moving toward something just beyond the edge of what either of us could reach alone. I'm drawn to the places where sound loses its origin, where you can no longer tell what is voice and what is piano and what is the space between them. That's where Shadow Moves lives. Intergalactic was the word that kept coming up. Not as a metaphor but as a physical sensation, the feeling of drifting where time dissolves and gravity stops being relevant. We were thinking about Tanizaki while we made this. In Praise of Shadows. Stillness. Space. Slowness. The beauty of what recedes into darkness rather than stepping into light. It shaped how we listened to each other, and how we hope you'll listen too. One reviewer put it this way: he started playing it at 5am in Vancouver as a meditative ritual before the day began. That's exactly where this music wants to be found.
