about

The completion of my album Nature Always Needs Improving inspired me to continue working with chimes. As someone who has always been interested in creating music that has droning, suspended tones as part of its syntax, I find utilizing acoustic instruments that generate such sounds to be increasingly appealing. I began to record these chimes to cassette in a very simple manner, using the built-in mic that was part of an old tape recorder I borrowed from work. After recording some different improvisations and motifs and listening to them, I immediately enjoyed the imperfections the tape emphasized in the music—how these resonant notes grew wooly and slightly distorted in their documentation.

Absolutely love this recording. I listen to it at work. I listen to it in the car on the way home from work. I listen to it while falling asleep. Curtis’ cello is so amazing. Just got the vinyl in the mail from Discogs the other day! Can’t wait to play on my hi-fi system! Dave Sewall

Me and my friend used to go on drives all the time, and a lot of the time i asked what he was playing, and a majority of the songs were from Yo La Tengo. And since i went and listened to And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out i was fan. Never thought i’d buy one of their records for myself. violetstain
