WHAT WE SAY:

Not only does wooden percussion take us back to music's inception, it is also the most natural & warm of sounds, and the perfect choice to lead Dylan Henner's minimal, ambient electro-acoustic musings for Dauw on the joys of nature & our suppressed disquiet in the face of its relentless destruction.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

"The music is based on the environmental & ecological despair happening in front of us, particularly in reference to South India. As with most of my work, the piece started with field recordings taken on location (in this case, on the Kerala / Tamil Nadu border in South India). I had been reading about the severe erosion levels in the territory and was sitting on the beach watching these little streams of sand pour out into the sea. I was watching the tide, not erosion, of course, but it was a very powerful miniature of the sad reality. So the piece is about this little moment of aching tenderness between me and nature, sitting powerless on the sand and watching it disappear into the water." (Dylan Henner)
