about

"Twin Galaxies loosely explores the idea of parallel worlds bending to converge: the far reaches of outer space and a fixed point right in front of me. Within the span of 6 months my two sisters were having babies - and Todd, twins. Friends as well! Couple years later we were about to have our son, so suddenly babies were all around us and very much on my mind. I imagined that this tiny creature growing inside was actually coming from a far off corner of the universe and, like a sentient asteroid, destined to crash somewhere between my desk and the bed in our one room live/work studio apartment. Having a child is an amazing opportunity to experience life from a fresh perspective, albeit through a fog of broken sleeps. It’s an ooey, gooey, reality inverting, hi-definition marvel of creation that ultimately transformed my bathroom into an makeshift recording space in order to continue work. I played guitar in “The Hair You’ll Never Cut” was played while wearing the one month old strapped to my chest!
I began visualizing the album as a whole while on vacation in Japan, and started post production there in late December 2012. As always, one of my primary interests is in the juxtaposition of textures, energy, melody and atmosphere. The frenetic shards of opener "Air Signs" melt into the dreamy twang of “Cancel My Subscription to the Moon”. The epic sweep of "Wind Plays Tricks w/ Sleep" abruptly crashes into the peculiar difficulty of “The Uncanny Valley”. The cerebral spaciousness of “A Silence Between Us” and "Footprints in the Sea of Tranquility" is chased by the hyperactive detail in “Rainbow Bridge”. "Stella Parallax" and "The Hair You'll Never Cut" are offered as a sonic balm for surviving "Rainbow Bridge".
Most of Twin Galaxies was recorded at my home studio for the most part between 2010 and 2013. A decent field recorder and stereo mic brings the outside world into the mix, and to experiment with the acoustics of different spaces." Lee Hutzulak, March 2014
