‘Black River Hymnal’ was released digitally on April 1st, 2022.

‘Black River Hymnal’ is an improvisational album that was recorded on the evening of August 22nd, 2021 in Brooklyn, New York. The album was recorded in a single take and encompasses droning, symphonic tones and organic field recordings. These sonic elements were mixed and live manipulated with a Eurorack modular system. No overdubbing or editing occurred in the making of this release.

The title 'Black River Hymnal' was inspired by the flooding and destruction caused by Hurricane Henri, which landed in New York the same evening as the recording of this album.

‘Black River Hymnal’ is available on Bandcamp, Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube
