The material was recorded gradually from 2017 to 2018. Unlike our previous recordings, which were all live free improvisations, the guitar and saxophone parts were recorded separately in our respective home studios in East Lansing, MI and West Seneca, NY over many months. Borghi\u2019s trademark sonic beds are often ornamented here by more active, overtly melodic gestures. Additionally, my contributions include multiple simultaneous horn lines. We tried to keep spontaneity at the core of our new collaborative process. As such, for each piece on the album, each saxophone track was recorded in a single isolated take, without regard for the other saxophonic textures. The horn lines at times complement and agitate one another in intriguing ways. These more actively polyphonic textures combine to offer a new take on the traditional Borghi | Teager<\/a> aesthetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This release will be digital only and is now available for purchase from Bandcamp<\/a>. It will be available for streaming via Spotify, Apple Music, and other outlets in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To coincide with this release, we recently recorded a long-form piece in the vein of our previous work. The piece, \u201cVanishing Point,\u201d will be released Tuesday 06\/30 via the Ambient Soundbath<\/a><\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re happy with the new album as well as its accompanying podcast appetizer. We hope you give a listen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Find Subterranean Bearings on Bandcamp here<\/a>. \u2014<\/p>\n\n\n\n (The photographs for the album art were taken by me in Austria\u2019s Bregenzerwald [2016] and at Pere Marquette Park in Muskegon, MI [2019], respectively.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n [NOTE: The original post was lost in a site error.
