All songs created in ACID Pro 7 from field recordings taken on a Sony PCM-10 recorder over the course of my fourteen-week term abroad in South India.

credits

released March 14, 2018

Special thanks to Anitha, Shivakumar, Pyush, and Vibush for their hospitality in inviting me into their home during my stay in Madurai.

Thank you to Sri. Palladam Ravi for his incredible mridangam instruction during our lessons every week, not only in the formal aspects of the instrument but also in the practice and philosophy of its playing.

Thank you to Ramaa Rangarajan for her invaluable help in introducing me to folk musicians throughout Tamil Nadu as well helping to translate interviews and texts.

Thank you to all the members of the Gangi Karunkuyil parai troupe, especially Balaji, Sekar, J Sekar, Amar, and Sathish, for allowing me to practice and perform with them.

Thank you to Andy Baldwin for allowing me to use his studio to put the final mixing and mastering touches on the EP.

by Sarah Louise

Where once her playing was essentially representational and descriptive, with 12-string cascades and plaintive vocals standing in for wind and snow, “Nighttime Birds” attempts to give voice to the fingerstyle guitarist’s entire universe at once. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jan 23, 2019
