Tewksbury

'Paths' is inspired by Tewksbury's travels to glaciers, tundra, and ice-covered lands, including Norway, Newfoundland, Alaska, Sweden, Ontario, and elsewhere. Recorded at his studio in downtown Hamilton, Ontario, 'Paths' uses a dynamic musical palette of epic arcs, from huge sweeps of vintage analog synth pads, to delicate moments of solo acoustic piano, while bass clarinets and guitars and household objects are manipulated to create huge swaths of dense sound. Tewksbury's own field recordings are woven into the fabric of this record, too - the sound of the waves as an iceberg passes by the northern edge of Newfoundland, or the sounds of hiking with his daughters in the frozen Alaskan backcountry. Tewksbury composed 'Paths' as a complete body of work, to be listened to in a single sitting.
