The science of waves: they collide, build, conflict, and disperse across vast distances. Waves rise and collapse. This is music shaped by those forces—drawn from the deep, cold waters of Lake Michigan and filtered through memory, humanity, and the spaces between near and far. These compositions reflect both the beauty and fearsome characteristics of the lake —experimental blends of acoustic and electronic sound that feel both familiar and alien, unsettling yet gorgeous.

*The Sound*
Each piece unfolds in movements, shifting between contrasting sonic worlds: resonating drums and ethereal strings give way to grinding electronica, old dinner bells, rusty wind chimes, and sweeping cinematic swells. Field recordings of invasive and native species. The hum of engines echoing beneath the surface. This volume channels wind, air, and mechanical ghosts drifting along or even underneath the water.
