In 2018, I released Rain Rhythms, Vol. 1. The first in what I intended to be a long running series of EPs, in which I explore ambient ideas filtered through something of a jazzy, downtempo lens. Volume 1 was inspired by Hiroshi Yoshimura, Talk Talk, and Brian Eno, among others.
In 2020, I returned to the series with Volume 2. In an effort to set Volume 2 apart from its predecessor, I set out to both strip back and add to what I did with Volume 1. Abandoning percussion on two tracks and expanding the synth and nature sounds utilized across the EP.
Somehow, it’s been four years since then, and I’ve finally returned with Rain Rhythms, Vol. 3. Possibly the final in the series, Volume 3 sees me doing a victory lap; incorporating elements of Volume 1 and Volume 2, while continuing to expand the sonic palette of the Rain Rhythms series with elements of nu jazz and trip-hop. The resulting EP is true to the original vision of the series, while still being made fresh and strong.
