This is a collection of pieces recorded from 1999 to 2011 during my time as a singer-songwriter. I always liked doing instrumentals or wordless pieces that allowed me to indulge my interests in psychedelic, ambient and more experimental music. The influences on these pieces are from folk, psych folk, Krautrock and early ambient music. There's a range of sonic quality from lo- to hi-fi, but I believe and hope each piece has something to offer the listener.
All recording and performance by The Gateless Gate, except on "Altai", which features Teri-Lynn Janveau (organ), Michael Dilauro (Rhodes) and Shawn Delnick (lap steel), and "Farewell", which features drums by Tim Timleck.
Mastering over the years at various times by Craig McConnell, John Arnott, Michael Dilauro and Shawn Delnick.
Cover layout by Emma Dolan
The album is available at Bandcamp.
