Landscapes
Limited edition cassette / digital / streaming
Landscapes is the second album from Birney-Willen (a.k.a. filmmaker Albert Birney and artist/designer Bruce Willen).
Ten scenes and dreams, captured and fermented from four improvisation sessions in 2024.
Listen while looking out the window of a moving train, on a long walk around the neighborhood, on the porch as a storm rolls in, at home with eyes closed.
