"It's a simple story," says the Austrian guitarist and composer, who's been releasing ambient and electro-acoustic music since the mid-'90s. "I had temporarily lost a proper studio workspace and had to move all my gear back to a small bedroom in my flat where I recorded this album. It was all done on headphones, which was rather a frustrating situation at first, but later on it felt like back in the day when I produced my first records in the 1990s." The result is four longform ambient compositions created with minimal equipment in a small studio, incorporating field recordings and original vocals.
Last year Fennesz contributed to the Ryuichi Sakamoto remix album. His last solo album was Mahler Remix in 2014.
