I have always enjoyed both listening to and playing ambient music. I have incorporated moments of it into bands that I have played in, but always wanted to truly explore this art form. Recorded between April and June of 2020, this is the debut album in a series of ambient releases planned for release. All music was written and performed by manipulating the Warr Guitar sound with an assortment of guitar effects and loopers. Unlike the other music that I play, the pedals sit up on a stand were I am able to tweak them constantly in order to achieve some of the unique sounds. I have fallen in love with Chase Bliss pedals and used them extensively on this album. I found so much inspiration in their endless sonic capabilities. I began with the album title, knowing that I wanted the sound to be dark with a sense of the unknown. The song titles are meant to imply one of each of the seven deadly sins.
