about

This album is another experiment in working with lots of recorded samples of improvised violin, in this case with a violinist I met Alex Zhu, who also recorded a bit for Tamalpais. For this album however I wanted to pursue a new identity, one that I didn't feel was necessarily tied to a downtempo/triphop vibe and could explore more freely and express emotions in different ways. So instead I began to draw on influences from post-rock, post-classical, and even baroque music; all while keeping the mood very cinematic. This is the result, and aside from my musical influences it has been heavily inspired by my travels the last two summers in Ireland, Norway, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands, whose epic landscapes are truly unforgettable.

My main project as Tristan de Liège will continue, but I expect Tethys will always be an outlet for me to explore in other ways. Thank you for listening.

Absolutely love the whole trip, especially The Origin.. the heavy-subversive bass aligning with the lighter more ethereal sounds, dig it, oh, and then those strings jimi gibson

This album is ultra sonic pleasure that digs deep into the emotion of soul. A truly "Must Have!" in anyone's collection that grooves on deep cosmic vibes! I tried to get this on wax but alas a digital download is all that is available. Considering how much I do not like or collect digital forms of music, that act alone speaks volumes on how I feel about this music. No fav track as the whole album rocks! kaosskid
