about

"We decided to make music and to record it, the three of us creating a document was something we intended to do. This decision was not one of spontaneity nor of attrition, we had tape, microphones, and instruments. There was nothing to figure out, nothing to explore, the forms were in place. This recording marks an exhalation."

Tongue Depressor is the duo of Zach Rowden and Henry Birdsey. They write and perform drone music with pedal steel, double bass, bells, tapes, and fiddles, often using microtonal tunings.

Austin Larkin is a composer and violinist focusing on elements of tone within the interstices of fields, symmetries, and patterns. His performance and practice is informed by research into dimensions of vibrating bodies.
