Dear Friends,

I started this album 5 years ago after visiting Bill in Colorado and filming an educational series for him. I felt my skills increase and grow as I watched him compose an entire song from start to finish. I went home, redesigned my studio, and began working.

As a synesthete I often visualize entire moving scenes and visuals when I'm writing music. After putting so much time and effort into the sound design and writing for this album I decided that I wanted to pair some approximations to what I experience in my mind's eye to go along with this music.

Last year I shared some of the early versions of the music from this album with Church. After I explaining the above, Church wanted to bring my vision to the screen; and many moons later, here we are. We started meeting up in late Summer 2023 and began carefully planning our releases and schedule. I've never had my music look this cool. He is such an incredible collaborator, film maker, producer, and friend.

I'm so honored to share this with you. Feel free to share this with anyone who might think this is cool, too; just give me and Church some credit. Dig?

Ya Boi,
GARDNSOUND
