"Vantage Points" is an album about place, meaning, and translation. It is literally a tape reel playing back my memories.
When recording this album, I heavily manipulated field recordings from several places relevant to me. Some sounds were trivial, some were remarkable, but each one came from a place that has had a very specific and powerful impact on my life; impacts that I can't necessarily describe in words.
I recommend it be played quietly, as a low-volume companion for your dreams and reflections...

"Every day, millions of people found themselves deepened and dignified by their encounters with particular places. Most of these places, however, were not marked as special on any map. But they became special by personal acquaintance. A bend in a river, the junction of four fields, a climbing tree, a stretch of old hedgerow or a fragment of woodland glimpsed from a road regularly driven along these might be enough...Daily, people were brought to sudden states of awe by encounters such as these: encounters whose power to move us was beyond expression but also beyond denial.
"I remembered what Ishmael had said in Moby Dick about the island of Kokovoko: ‘It is not down in any map; true places never are.’"
-Robert Macfarlane

A labour of love...is what comes to mind each time I listen to this entire album. Although it’s a double album, it surprises me with each spin that it feels to me as if it’s a single album, it’s thát amazingly good... ambient at its finest, created with passion and feel, absolute must-have....

I can't even compare this to the original. One can't even talk about which one would be better, because this is somehow another kind of ambient, with extra melody and extra layers of sound. BVCVLEI
A featherlight love letter to Japanese agrarian life that draws parallels between ambient, field recording, and Brazilian guitar music. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 13, 2023
In the music of Paul Jordan, digitally manipulated field recordings become striking electronic songs that feel eerie and surreal. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 7, 2020
