Diaspora EP by Sonic Bodhi

Diaspora- the definition is a people displaced from their original homeland, and in a way each of us feels this 'displacement' deep within us- as if there is a home for us to return to some day from which we have been ousted without the involvement of our will.

A longform ambient track built around a 20 minute field recording made on my front porch with a Tascam DR-05X handheld recorder. The second track is conversely short.

Korg Kronos, Gibson SG-J, Antares 8-string Mandolin, and Roland SP-404SX Linear Wave Sampler. Software used: Ableton Live with Reaktor 6 and Razor ensemble.
