Hi everyone.
I have a new release coming out next week!
"The Effortless Quiet" is a collection of 6 original pieces for electronics, piano, and other things. I'm very excited to release this patchwork of old and new recordings I have been working on quietly since the start of the year all on my very own.
The record drops on November 2, but pre orders are up on Bandcamp (www.martyhicks.bandcamp.com/album/the-effortless-quiet), with the first track "höstvind" (featured in the above video) available for download. For the time being, this will be a Bandcamp-only release. Thank you for listening and I hope you enjoy the record.
Big thanks to Joe Talia for his mastering magic.
11月2日にソロの新作「The Effortless Quiet」をリリースします。
今年の始めくらいからひっそりと作ったミニアルバムです。ピアノに温かいシンセの音など、いろんな音色が重なりあうアンビエント作品です。
当面の間はBandcampのみのリリースとなりますので、興味ある方は上記のリンクからアクセスしてください。1曲目は今事前予約で無料ダウンロードできます。

The Effortless Quiet - November 2, 2020
"A collection of pieces born from periods of waiting, episodes of uncertainty, and moments of warmth.
This 6-track EP-length work brings together fragments of leftover sounds - old piano recordings, unused tape loops, timestretched strings - rediscovered during periods of isolation, and revisited from a place of stillness and quietude."
切ないピアノの旋律に、緩やかなテープループや温かみに包まれたシンセサイザーの音が重なるアンビエント作品。
忘れかけていた過去から響いてきた音の記憶、どことなく懐かしい情緒を浴びさせる、時空無きの音楽的水彩画。
