This is a tape-processed, all-acoustic drone album that flows through four distinct compositions. It’s introspective and calm, ebbing and flowing at a steady pace, like watching a record spinning or light shifting. Drone with plenty of hiss and saturation. Favorite tracks: 1,4. (DJ PHONY aka Noah B)


**01 – “Interior Current Number 1”: Strings drenched in reverb, white hiss, distant choir-like pads. Depth. Exceedingly calm and reflective, continually ascending. Tape-based drones, and you can hear it in the warmth and mechanical whir.


02 – “Interior Current Number 2”: Revolving, shimmery. Saturated and lossy synths with suggestions of running water and bird sounds in the background. Short.


03 – “Interior Current Number 3”: Comparatively mechanical. Whirring, like a mass of flying insects. Zenlike pad underpinning. Brief suggestions of instruments emerge – saxophone, plucking textures, electric piano, clarinet? – before receding back into drone & whir.


*04 – “Interior Current Number 4”: This one crackles, hisses, and pops, like sitting next to a fire. Running water and bird sounds make a reappearance.
