Debut release for Baker, who is a sound installation and instrument builder active in the same sonic regions of people such as Hal Rammel, Alan Bloor (aka Pholde) and the late Harry Bertoia…the soothing temperament of this music is helpful when we decide to use it as nerve-rubbing background.

Line this one up for the Day of Drone! Five tracks that represent a sonic exploration of the moon’s orbit of the earth. Baker builds instruments such as the Chalice, Microtonal Drone, and Leaf Springs on Daf–all out of metal and woodwork–to convey harmonics that inspire meditation.

I give the artist kudos for creating everything himself; the instruments, production, even the artwork. If you are a fan of drone music by all means give this one a try.
