about

Benthos and Life Under Water were created in response to the painting "Sealife" by Deborah Sigel.

Benthos was written as a sonic reinterpretation of the original work.

Life Under Water was composed in part by using the painting as a sound source. Sigel's "Sealife" was spectrally sampled into 88 layers and mapped to the standard piano keyboard. Low sonic frequencies correspond to the red end of the spectrum, high frequencies to the blue. Each of the 88 layers (notes) preserved both the painting's left/right color distribution and the frequency spread present in each bin.

New Heights (Alturas Remixed)

Signal Hill has long put out incredible instrumental rock music, and in 2016 they let me remix two of my favorite tracks off their album Alturas. Check out their other stuff too! Morgan Hendry

Hands down, my favorite Beware of Safety record. Morgan Hendry

dogs
by Beware of Safety

This was the second record by Beware of Safety, and, in my opinion, one of the strongest. It also holds my first serious foray into "classical" composition: Raingarden. Morgan Hendry

Less a solo act than a one-man megalith, Khôra builds impressive experimental soundscapes from modular synths, flutes, harps, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 19, 2020
