❝ Discarded materials are important to me because of environmental issues and also as a reflection of my current life. My choice of materials and interpretation are influenced by the differences that I experience between life in America and in Japan, where I grew up. I often use repetition and aim to create energy and chaos, within quiet stillness. ❞ *

Ralph Kinsella – In The Lives That Surround You
❝ Kinsella states that he’s “exploring fragility through the vulnerability of instrumentation.” He does so with his trusty guitars, including some that are nostalgia-embedded from his childhood. The aural cauldron also contains snatches of harmonium, ghostly voices, captured field recordings, and notes from his grandmother’s piano. These tones are intricately processed, often building into bursts of sparkling static and melodic interference. In The Lives That Surround You is an album that weaves a compelling narrative from start to finish, rewarding deep listens as its textures intertwine. ❞ *
