A thousand beauties fill the garden:
the scent of roses,
the murmur of water
gently flowing in the stream…
But how can one describe
the indescribable?
-Rumi
Il faut cultiver notre jardin
-Voltaire
released September 27, 2019
A series of moments for grounded clarity to offer respite, contemplation, and reflection in an over-exploited environment. A reconsidered creative process sowing purpose among disparate recordings.
Gardening is the debut solo offering from Amar Lal, who some may know as the guitarist of the dynamic post-hardcore project Big Ups. Since moving to Oakland, CA, Amar has taken deeper journeys through his field recordings, his audio journals, and traced a path from “Privilege” to “Stasis” that brings us into his ways of seeing, his doors of perception, his indescribable. – NK
