about

"Going Down with the Ship" is centered around a phone recording I took in the Louis Hall Sound Stage at Northwestern University. I improvised a very simple piano part and later decided to create a sonic world around it. I find the resulting mix of audio fidelities very soothing in a strange way. Since I used no metronome in the moment, there's also a subtle push and pull to the rhythm that thematiclly aligns with the ship motif.

The artwork for this piece is a painting by the immensely talented Tara Dixon titled "Keeping On." Many thanks to Tara for allowing me to use her work to complement the tone of the music.

Thanks for listening! <3

Much love,

Jack
