Tones, melodies, landscapes, humans developing...all of it and more recorded in this diverse collection of moods, with Albon managing to somehow put into words not observations, but the (precise) act of experiencing the array of emotions and sensations evoked from viewing a special sight, from being suddenly struck by a bright idea, or from living out a moment—be it a singular or banal moment—that maintains in the memory, to alter and rearrange over time.
Albon writes out these brainwaves, puts them into words, giving a space to the ineffable and incalculable, to the fleeting hits of passion intertwined with uncertain intellect that so regularly slip away before we have a chance to begin to think about fathoming them.
