"A lot of this record is about memory and long stretches of time - not just making, but remaking, constantly tinkering. Thats Daniel Wyche - a Chicago-based guitarist, composer, improviser, and professor - whose new LP Earthwork has been a long time in the making, depending on the jump-off point. The LP synthesizes guitar music and instrumental soundscapes, resulting in a nuanced, cohesive collection inspired by family, loss, and legacy that falls in between Japanese environmental music, free jazz, and modern classical.

Wyche is as community-oriented as they come, being part of organizations such as Chicagos Elastic Arts and co-founding COVID relief initiatives like Experimental Sound Studios The Quarantine Concerts, but that ethos carries into his music, too. Opening track ""This Was Home"" is a seventeen-minute testament to the meaning of place and the beauty of collaboration.

RIYL: Midori Takada, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Terry Riley, Tom Carter, Dirty Three"
