about

Summer II was conceived and recorded over the course of summer 2022 and is a follow-up to Summer (2020).

After going through several incarnations (full project notes are included as a PDF in the download for anyone who is interested), I decided that this “sequel” to Summer should follow in the same vein, using the guitar as primary, raw material.

However, I got a bit meta: instead of recording fresh raw material, I decided to use the three finished WAV files from the original project to form the basis for this one (with the exception of Boardwalk which is not related at all).

I think of these tracks as sonic explorations, noise profiles, auditory landscapes, and sound creatures. However a listener perceives them, my hope is that their experience will be a visual one.

Live at North Six 2007
by Jason Loewenstein

Jason Lowenstein's music (solo and as part of Sebadoh) is rocking, raw, and explosive. This live album has a great vibe--close your eyes and it's like you're standing in the venue. Pumpkin Friend

Titan Space Heater
by Eric Gaffney (Grey Matter, x-SeBadoh)

Gaffney's inimitable offerings are like unapologetic grab bags of goodies or miscellaneous trinkets-you never know quite what you're gonna get (in a good way!). Titan Space Heater = a good starting pt Pumpkin Friend
