about

I first became aware of Christian’s music when I contributed to his COVID-? Collaborative project and decided that I would like to do a full album collaboration with him. I recorded numerous tracks using misc percussion, metal bowls, springbox and skatckboxes which I then them sent to Christian to add his part to. While Christian plays a variety of stringed instruments, he decided to use the mohan veena for this album and I feel that it lends itself very nicely to the resulting collaboration and it’s very lyrical sounds contrasted nicely to my noisy tracks.
