clearing the throat

counterfactual mixtape #1 (February 2025)

This first mixtape is an expulsion, a chance to clear both my mind and my hard drive. It’s a collage of small music sketches and field recordings, both from my everyday life and more intentional expeditions. There’s processed sounds here too, recordings that I’ve tried to x-ray, excavate or drill inside to find out what they’re made of. I’m weaving them together in a way that imagines my past inside different future scenarios and spaces.
