frag balm by steven leak and erik emil eskildsen

this music had its origin in a request from a net label that promotes my music, to create something recognizing and perhaps musically describing the state of relational fragmentation that social media has brought into the common experience of many.
so i set about the matter of musically expressing that . . . even though i don't experience it myself. "frag balm" came out of that all on its own. sort of like it was waiting to be asked. (track1)
i felt like it (my music) needed some care and so i sent the stems to erik and asked him if he could give it a polish before i sent it to the compilation. (track 2)
i listened to the track a lot and then asked him if he would also like to work and play with it "carte blanche".
from that came "track 3".

I am a Canadian musician who creates soundscapes. These soundscapes are created with Arturia Microfreak and Minifreak synthesizers various electronic devices , pre-recorded loops, field recordings, and found sounds. I am also a member of "The Forever Moment" a band where I get to co-create music with Mark Cook.
