"Awkwardi" is a new release on the SC Affiliated (loosely) Foci Left label, in that I do hardly any promotion like Statto,and the records are always "awkward", in that not a lot of people like many of the tracks. That is no skin off my nose, simply aim to please myself, looking after number one means the goodness can spread from the root without decay trails.

This particular ambient album is very very lo-fidelity, not a lot happens microtonally, yet at the same time lots of shifts occur in seismic tone and morphing tonics toward sonic peace, ecstatic peace, and the generalized feel of mood music at large. The rippling of earlier releases is replaced by a mature understatedness and a empty reverb pocket to fill in hope.

Expect to hear influences from Ennio Morricone, Angelo Badalamenti, Brian Eno, Roger Eno, Sylvain Chaveau, Jandek and Nils Frahm, amongst others. It's serious music, there are numerous influences I could list, but influences are vague at the best of times. Ultimately, the album exists as a two-part longform live album, with two live tracks, and numerous side pieces.
