I think all of the electronic material was recorded on the floor of our bedroom in February and March of 2020, with headphones, over the low vibration noise of the large kitchen exhaust fan, above our ceiling, from the restaurant below our apartment.<br><br>The sunrise will flood our windows, we can see the trees from the same view, and on clear nights the colors of sunset reflect onto the city to our east. The sound of recycling and compost trucks wakes me most mornings, but the bus stops at the far end of the block are not as insistent. Climbing the small hill that crests our street, the mountains are visible across the bay. I spent a lot of time over the past two years out in this topography with our child, just going where we go and seeing what we see. The trees and the water is so close, a city has laid itself through and upon this, then wrapped itself with the same trees and water.<br><br>The selection, editing, mixing and sequencing of what has become <strong><em>Wilderness And Luxury<\/em> <\/strong>took place mostly through the spring and early summer of 2020, with small adjustments as I lived with this work. Some of the field recordings are from our time in California, some are archival.<br><br>If you are not into bandcamp, or paypal, or venmo, or money, please hit me up and I will get you music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilderness and Luxury by Billy Gomberg Wilderness And Luxury is my first album of creative music since 2018\u2019s Beginners, and like last year\u2019s Fraufraulein tape Solum, feels to me like creative practice and language catching up with my life in California.
