Dreams of Water Themes

A collage of aquatic field recordings, dusty jazz samples, and glitchy hip-hop beats. It feels like exploring a sunken Victorian library through a submarine window.

It's like a hip-hop beat tape made by a very talented octopus in a submarine.

A whimsical and immersive aquatic daydream that feels like exploring a sunken museum of curiosities.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The transition into the seven-minute finale where the beat dissolves into a rhythmic wash of waves and static.

The way the percussion on 'Whetting Whistles' sounds like droplets hitting different sized porcelain bowls.

The sudden, jarring interjection of a child's voice that grounds the surreal electronics in a domestic memory.
