Andrew Tasselmyer is a musician from Baltimore, MD currently living in Philadelphia, PA. Using a mix of synthesizers, samplers, and field recordings, he creates ambient music that blends ethereal soundscapes with the tactile sounds of specific times and places. In addition to an extensive catalog of releases on labels such as Laaps, Eilean, Seil, Home Normal, Constellation Tatsu and more, he is a member of Hotel Neon and Gray Acres.

"The general premise behind this album was to capture a true sense of what inspired me each time I sat down to record.

Side A is generally grittier, colder, and more synthetic - it’s a little more overtly “digital” sounding (at least to my ear). On side B, I included the use of cassette tape simulations and acoustic instrument samples that add a bit more warmth than the first half. I hope that a sense of experimentation comes across on both sides as you listen.

I used an extremely limited set of tools (my iPad and Octatrack MK2 sampler) and recorded live performances of each track without any arrangement after the fact. Nothing was done to alter these tracks from the first hours after they were recorded aside from light mastering prior to the cassette printing, just to bring the volume of each track to a consistent level for listener convenience."
