A WALK IN THE WOODS
is a collaboration with the natural world through the lens of modern music technology, with natural elements created by performing with found objects in the dense woods of the nearby Catskill Mountains and around the studio. The duo created ‘foraged sounds’ using stones and rocks, sampling trees and birds and other natural sounds - note the sounds of a tranquil pond and the distinctive mechanical sounds of a bicycle.

While meditative walks in the woods provided the impetus for the tracks, the trees surrounding the studio also became a place for spiritual rejuvenation. The result of their ritualistic approach to the project is a body of work steeped in harmony and balance – of beauty and melancholy, of technology and nature, signaling two like-minded spiritual beings in creative lockstep with each other. Over the two weeks, meditation, introspection and connection with nature embodied A Walk In The Woods.
