Johnny Woods - Pavilions (2020) [Official Digital Download]

Johnny Woods produces improvised synthesizer music from an off-grid Earthship high in the mountains of New Mexico. His 100% solar-powered studio features a variety of esoteric modular synthesizers, like those from Buchla, Wiard, and EML, which he has spent the last couple of decades attempting to master. Inspired by an eco-futurist worldview, Johnny views the synthesizer as an ideal vehicle for transferring the rhythms and structures of nature into a pure recording of sound. The generative melodies feel perfectly at home nestled amongst the pine trees- gentle waves of pure electronic tone that rise and fall like the breeze.
