Tidal by Liquid Terrain
These live, solo improvised pieces each feature the 6-string donso n’goni harp and/or an African thumb piano, while altering the acoustic source instrument(s) with limited variations of spectral processing, reverb and other digital filters. As reflected in their titles, the pieces are inspired by bodies of water, whether it be swimming through surf, the reflection of the moon, tidal interactions with the shoreline, ice, or the temporal nature of both the topography of water’s surface and our thoughts.
I want to express my gratitude to the anonymous makers who crafted the instruments I’ve had the good fortune to play all these years. Additional thanks to the community of digital creators who allow me to paint with sound, with specific thanks to Michael Norris and Sean Costello.
