Julian Anderson-Bowes - Snow Moon (February 18, 2022)

Julian is an acoustic and electric bassist, composer and improviser based in Toronto, Canada.

The work quite literally went underground last winter. Musical explorations from the basement - a look inside my head - a gradual emergence into the sun (the backyard), greeted by sparrows and that blackbird with the sparkles on her chest.

I couldn't forget about these recordings. So here they are, immortalized. And if we lose power, hopefully the feeling stays.

Projectwhatever & Julian Anderson-Bowes - Sixteen Ways (August 2021)

Sixteen Ways is a distillation of two days of fully improvised music making by Projectwhatever and Julian Anderson-Bowes. Recorded in a church sanctuary in the east end of Toronto in May of 2021, the album captures the duo spontaneously creating forms, seeking one another as well as looking within, and often arriving together at a place of harmony after many months apart. Here you'll find an array of emotional states, brought on by fresh, open ears and a vulnerability cultivated by almost a decade of collaboration. We hope this music can be at its best, healing; a wave to ride inward and balance the light and dark and funny sides of us. We sincerely hope you enjoy the journey!
