    [1. IDEA]

    ■ The A. O.: Can you tell us how the track “I remained a stranger to the birds“ came to light?

    ► Toby: This track came about following work we did on “Kolmar Park”; Wayne and i decided to continue working together, and expand this project to EP length (at the suggestion of Past Inside the Present label head Zach Frizzell). I really loved Wayne’s approach with his guitar playing, so we decided i should return to my field recording sources and from this came a set that i felt really worked together and flowed well from the first track. Wayne then worked his magic and made it into a full piece.

    ► We live in this hypertrophic world. Is there still room for the beauty of little things? This is an empty question, typical of this late-capitalist era where you have to thank for your crumbs. But these 20 minutes are a meaningful exception. Here really “less is more”, here peace simply exists.
