Thank you as always for listening to this recording. Each piece is a real-time performance made with strings and, occasionally, computer augmentation. My work has taken many forms over the years, though this feels like the fullest expression of the Appalachian Trance Metal/Piedmont Shaman Rock concept. It all unfolded improvisationally, the music itself creating the context and form…I just had to stay out of the way. Imbricate was inspired by Zaila Avant-garde, Paolo Angeli, and Bali. Deeply so. And other beautiful people and places. And people and places yet to be. Enjoy and be well.

One of my favorite albums ever! It beautifully captures the sound and spirit of where we live. I was honored to be the engineer for the session, and it is a highlight in my history as a record mogul. Killick
