For more than a decade, JON PORRAS has carved out a sprawling, emotionally evocative niche of sound using a variety of sonic elements and associations in his solo work. Tokonoma serves as one of Porras’ most enlightened and enlightening works to date, touching on the dark, expansive tones explored on past releases and shedding light on Porras’ bright future. GREGG KOWALSKY completed an MFA in Electronic Music and recorded two solo ambient albums. He concentrated on installations and conceptual pieces. L’Orange, L’Orange is his first solo album in eight years – sourced from analog synths and mixed on a laptop – and arrives in rays of sound that shine skyward.
