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!
