about

Fragrant Harbour is a new EP containing two pieces inspired by trips to Hong Kong in 2014, 2015, and 2019. Blending soft drones with myriad field recordings of daily life from all over Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, "On the Lam" juxtaposes the soundscapes of dense and chaotic urban areas with those of forests, temples, and small fishing villages. In "Elsie Tu" (which takes its title from the British-born social activist who lived and worked in Hong Kong until her death in 2015 at the age of 102), wistful, overlapping melodies emerge from electronic textures which were created by photoelectronic synthesis of images taken in Mong Kok.

The Bandcamp download includes an exclusive live set recorded at SAAL in Hong Kong in July of 2019, as well as a pdf photobook.
