Michael Cottone [The Green Kingdom] is a graphic designer and sound artist based in Michigan and presents to us "Audioloom 1", which will hopefully become a series of works over time. He creates an audio collage from disparate sources, samples, synths as well as acoustic and electric guitar. The "Audioloom" story is intended to create a musical narrative.
Handstitched* are over-the-moon to be releasing these new pieces by The Green Kingdom, who has previously released music via these well-respected imprints; Dronarivm, Past Inside the Present, Sound in Silence, Hidden Vibes, Lost Tribe Sound, Tench and Nomadic Kids Republic, to name but a few.
Maps and Diagrams, appears on the "B" side of the split artist release with The Green Kingdom; with four tracks making-up "Streams" - focusing on a tonal and minimal edge that brings moments of the past year together, like a musical sketchbook where we can reflect as we slowly move forward.
