notes: 'written & produced / Janice Kwan

  mastered / Matt Morgan www.sleepyvolcano.com

  an exploration of sound, space, and movement, wondering what stories might exist
  in places celestial, vacuumous, and the everyday. the exercise in these tracks was
  to work primarily with samples recorded in daily life, for example :

  - lunar new years firecrackers

  - hinoki bucket in sulfur hot springs

  - rain falling on metal roofs

  - summer cicadas and thunderstorms

  - processions ringing through mountains

  - sleepy pillow-talk

  - street noise and cats

  - rivers and birds

  - messages to/from loved ones

  - various instruments (中胡, 古筝, 簫) and more

  "when working on tunic, janice recorded a lot of sounds of daily life in taipei
  and turned them into instruments for the soundtrack.

  afterwards, she made a new album using those techniques, almost made entirely out
  of those recordings and new ones" - Lifeformed'
