released December 1, 2021

I made this work thinking of my grandparents with dementia.

Both of them are now living in a facility. I stayed for a few days at their house, where no one lived, and was inspired by the clothing, dishes, and plants left there. For the sound source, I used environmental sounds coming from the house's windows and an old electronic organ that I used to play when I was a kid. In the midst of realizing the changes in my daily life, the sounds of construction, cars, and crows cawing that may otherwise sound like noise make it feel as if time has stopped only in this house.

Japan is said to have an aging population and a large number of dementia patients. Dementia is a gradual loss of memory and language, which can lead to confusion, accidents caused by the person's perception not functioning properly, and sad events.

Produced, recorded, and mastered by lu Takahashi: field recordings, transposed electrons (electric organs), synths, voice, text

To Live & Die In Space & Time
by Lynn Avery & Cole Pulice

supported by 9 fans who also own “Stay”

4 peaceful jazz vignettes. Belt of Venus is aquamarine, with a slow, tidal energy as dignified as the sea. The aptly named plantwood is budding, emergent as flowers on dewy moss in the forest. Stained Glass Sauna has a smoky, mountain resonance, while the Sunken Cabin emerges slowly from dust-mote stillness to tortured but deliberating peaks. The whole thing is bursting with character.
