about

I have sometimes felt, upon hearing a piece from one of my early albums, that it could be made to sound a fair bit better. While I’m not interested in the task of remixing those albums, a pleasing idea had me: remix a handful of favorites, add something new, and offer it as a New Year's gift to listeners.

Visions of Old Souls includes two pieces from each of The Separate Ones and Divinations, and one from each of Souls Adrift, in Disrepair and The White Island.

Mostly, the remix work involved switching in better effects devices and adjusting the volume levels. This had the strongest effect on Crystalline, with its “wall of sound” now lightened up and more varied. Improved effects have also given Snowdance in Starlight the glint-and-shimmer it deserves.

The new piece is A Million Suns: majestic multi-synths with a long chord progression built solidly on the bass line. The way the chords evolve - changing one note at a time, instead of all at once - is another happy step forward. This feels like one of my strongest ambient pieces to date, and I'm excited about exploring this all-synth direction further.

Big Gratitude to Chicago photographer Jennifer New, whose stunning work directly inspired the album’s title.
