about

A continuation of Raffa's multi-disciplinary work in psychogeography, this music is an inquiry into the various workings of images of the mind. Selected from a series of improvisational performances from the Summer and early Fall of 2020, these pieces are reflections on the many transformative wanders Raffa took through the mountains of Yangmingshan National Park near their home in Taipei, Taiwan.

These improvisations were recorded at home or on location utilizing various mics, amps, and tape machines, along with a Moog Matriarch synthesizer and a small modular synth setup, with the intent to create a playful and present experience for the performer/listener.

Recorded July - September 2020

James Bernard confuses time. These suite of tracks play tricks with you, everytime you listen to 'em. Some times fast, sometimes slow, sometimes scary, sometimes mellow. All I can say, is that's its always beautiful no matter what time of the day you play. So nice to feel the 90's so close again. Polly Jean Neon Queen
