Meadow Argus - Somewhere Near Medina

Somewhere Near Medina is hearing an album of family photos. Dreamlike talk, vivid for an instance then echoing away in time. Melodic organ droning in the background, a haze of connective energy solidifying the listening experience. Falling into the trance most delightfully again. Meadow Argus is composing stories again. This one very close to heart, with his brother Max and his visit to a house of family friends, the Schmidts. Four selections divided from close to forty minutes of play. Meadow Argus has used a unique approach in creating Somewhere Near Medina. He notes in the description, "For this album I made my own music box compositions and played them on a manual crank music box, mixed with organ and tape effects". The final product is incredibly fluid. With the length of listening time spent with Max and the Schmidts, a bond grows. There is a heartfelt affinity to the entire experience. Also, with subtle adjustments, Meadow Argus changes the background timbre just enough to create entirely different sonic scenes. Please take the time to listen, another very cool composition by Meadow Argus.

This is a cassette release in a limited edition of forty. Released on Tynan Krakoff's label Tynan Tapes Temporal. When purchasing either the cassette or digital, there are bonus digital versions of the composition that are instrumental only. This makes two different listens completely, involvement and sentiment dialed in a different direction.
