What Is It?

A one-off primitive vocal-driven project built around electro-acoustic improvisation, sloppily recorded in tiny apartment bedrooms.

These tracks were heavily inspired by my undergraduate study of Ethnomusicology and world music. Not like my other work, but rather something that has retained its uniqueness to this day. There is some explanation of the context of this release in the about section.
