about

This is the second collection of songs in our musical sketchbook series: Spandrels.

Spandrels are the pleasant by-product of a design or creation. In architecture, spandrels are the small triangular gaps between round archways and the rectangular frames into which they're built. In biology, the term applies to secondary byproducts of evolutionary adaptations.

These pieces were all made during the same writing and composition period that resulted in the songs from our last album, Let Yourself Be Seen. In the winter of 2018, while we were artists-in-residence at the Banff Centre, we were fortunate enough to have access to an amazing collection of rare and classical instruments. From the vistas of our rocky mountain studio, we were able to experiment with different microphones and live effects processing of these acoustic instruments. As such, a feedback loop of creative intuition was created as we responded to their sonic qualities and the effects being produced, which in turn influenced the way we played them. We knew that these musical meanderings weren't going to evolve into songs for the new album, which made it even more liberating to work outside of the constraints imposed by composition. This collection of musical ideas all capture stream-of-consciousness improvised performances that represent the thought-processes and creative intuitions that were later channeled into the songs on Let Your Self Be Seen. Thanks for listening.
