about

A collection of ambient pieces made during the time our son was born and a pandemic spread. Creating these songs offered me a space of peace and meditation. I hope that listening to them can do the same for you. Stay safe and healthy. Deepest gratitude to Cristina, Justin, Scott and Torry for their invaluable assistance with this project.

For Linus Bend Phillips
