A portrait album featuring a collection of works which explore the notions of absence and loss in relation to sound and temporality. Each investigates the dissipation of sound into silence and the moment at which resonance fades entirely from audibility. Each work takes the temporality of photography as a model for musical time and form.
The release was featured in "Best of Bandcamp" for July 2022, and called "a minimalist gem" in the accompanying review by Peter Margasak.
