about

"An incredible album. Combining spring-modified acoustic instruments with field recordings from Asia and the forests of Michigan, this plucky, twittering, gently psychedelic recording reminded me at various points of Jon Hassell, Múm, gamelan, wind-up toys, dreams, and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Corwin nearly died in the Nepalese earthquake of 2015, and these percolating soundscapes are a sonic diary of his own musical healing, a calling that he has also taken up professionally."
—Erik Davis, author and podcast host of Expanding Mind

"The connective fibers of the physical and spiritual glide effortlessly on this sonic journey. Corwin Trails is the yoke pulling music heritage and innovation. Beauty finding place in what remains unreachable, these rhythmic compositions are like undiscovered elements within the planet's crust. An instrument especially crafted for this composition is what produces the gamelan tone and faint flickering pattern to music of Indonesia. Creating another aspect of these harmonies are field recordings from around the world and actual sounds from the forests of Corwin Trails home in Michigan. After many listens, one comparison that came to mind a few times is the album Lost and Safe by The Books."
—Lost in a Sea of Sound
