about

A journey through a fragmented electronic landscape, Earthquake Park represents the crystallization of sceptre fretpen's improvisation-based song building processes.

Generative harmonies emerge, inspiring new melodies; movements invent themselves at each moment of construction. Earthquake Park is the culmination of this process of expanding improvisational sessions into arrangements of ambient textures, layered melodies, and rhythmic experiments.

"...explorations through interesting, intricate and beautiful soundscapes, forging a wonderful path for fans to follow... The album is truly a journey through sound... Earthquake Park is a great album and sceptre fretpen are masters of sound."
-- Adriana Ciccone, Echoes and Dust

"It’s complex music, both the published result and the process which created it. [The music] fortunately for the listener, [is] varied and evolving, engaging rather than indulgent."
-- Eric Sorenson, Igloo Magazine
