A note on listening

Best heard whole, start to finish, low, in one sitting.

Sleeve notes

Principles

• Make the room quieter than you found it.
• Suggestion over statement. Space over spectacle.
• Keep the mistakes that sound like weather.
• Small music, made carefully, for one listener at a time.

Who this is

Built on a single image — little red ants — and a philosophy of ordinary purposefulness.

Works in modern composition. One electric piano. Not much else.

Circles little red ants. Avoids the everyday. Releases quietly: “Little Red Ants”.
