Recorded entirely from manipulated cassette loops, this 2020 release treats magnetic tape not as a medium but as an instrument — warping, degrading, and stretching field recordings of coastal water until the source material becomes almost unrecognizable. The textures drift between soft static and low oceanic rumble, with each loop cycling at slightly different rates to create gentle, hypnotic phase shifts. The worn loops may bring William Basinski to mind, though there's plenty to follow in the shifts between water and static. Perfect for the hours just before sleep, when the mind loosens its grip on specific thought.
