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.
