about

isolation etudes vol. 1

a series of improvisations hastily recorded, un-edited, one take, trying to capture some of the various states during the spring of 2020.

recorded live and simply with a hand-held recorder. no effects or processing of any kind - just the raw sound of my instrument (and a few incidental sounds from the room and the birds outside).

Ed Williams' wonderful podcast Echo Chamber is releasing an episode based on a conversation we had in marseille in september 2019 and i am releasing isolation etudes vol 1 to coincide with it. you can find details about the series here edwilliams.xyz/echo-chamber/ and the episode here edwilliams.xyz/2020/04/12/echo-chamber-24-an-aleatoric-solo-duet-with-ben-grossman/

your contributions are most welcome in these days of cancelled gigs, but if things are tight for you too, please take this with my compliments and best wishes for your health, safety, and sanity.
