about

Developed during COVID lockdown Marston and Thwaite have used a unique technique using improvisation and remix to create seven individual grooves. This album started as two open improvisations that were framed by synth samples. These improvisations were then edited to reveal new samples that were developed remotely into the tracks released here.

The idea of the spaces between work and rest, nature and human made and acoustic and electronic are central to this work. These places can often be overlooked, particularly as sources of creativity however these are the places that Marston and Thwaite find the most engaging. These are the borderlands of everyday life.
