New one on DA. Pulsatilla centres around idiophones — bells, vibraphones, crotales, hand-built plate reverb, cymbal sculptures, and a wide array of struck resonators — as well as digitally-rendered versions of these instruments via physical modelling synthesis.

Almost everyone who has ordered our Earthphone has asked if it is waterproof. This inspired a period of research, and I'm pleased to introduce the Seaphone.
Originally designed for seismic measurements, it can be used to capture faint vibrations in various materials and even soil, rock and now water

Four pieces written for just intonation, short pieces of improvisation are used as samples from which to re-compose. One note from the previous chord becomes to key center for the next chord, and becomes the root for the purposes of tuning the intervallic relationship in a just tuning.

Benning is a significant influence on my work as a musician, championing similar durational ideas of inhabitation of intangible media, while also exploring stillness and quiet as compositional devices. This re-scoring work pays tribute to the film I most deeply connect with ’Ten Skies’.
