Aural Aerials by Bodarc Bestvina
About this Album:
I enjoyed writing, recording and producing this album. It marks the arrival to a place of relaxing soundscapes mixed with chillout beats, all with real instruments. In this sense, I hope it has therapeutic potential but is also accessible to a wide audience.
All tracks can be played live using a loop station and multiple instruments, although some transitions would be a tad different, because guitar and drums would fill these transitions in real time, leading into another part, which is looped, and then bass and other stuff gets added on. Make any sense? The bass drum sounds in these recordings, and live, come from hitting the sound hole on the guitar with my hand. This in addition to Kevin doing snare, cymbal and percussion makes from interesting rhythmic color.
I hope this album finds you, and is of benefit to you personally, spiritually, or in any other way.
