Inner World, recorded concurrently with Noisemaker and A Prelude to the New Normal, features challenging long-form compositions for flutes and electronics with an emphasis on light and shade, tone and texture - with ethnic, orchestral and mallet percussion. Modern production meets concert flute, processed through vintage electronic devices - in addition to exotic acoustic instruments, analogue and digital synthesizers and electric dulcimer - which alternately express inner calm and existential angst in slowly evolving soundscapes. Highly recommended to fans of Brian Eno, Steve Reich and Jon Hassell. Preorder from Amazon here. Buy from Band Camp here. Here is a review from Sea of Tranquility.

Coming November 2nd - Daniel Crommie's "Inner World"
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
"A Prelude to the New Normal" by Daniel Crommie released!
Some new sounds for you! The experimental follow-up to "Noisemaker" takes you on an eclectic journey to the future past with medieval, jazz-funky world rhythms and primal rocking that concludes on a contemplative note. This album features some retro analogue electronics including brassy flute parts created courtesy of a 1967 Maestro "System for Woodwinds" newly restored and integrated into the proceedings. This is the second of at least three solo albums scheduled for release in 2021. You can order the CD or download here.
