The instructions were simple. A couple of years ago, Anthony Pirog reached out to old friends and new collaborators alike with an open-ended request: could they send him an original ambient track, between four and five minutes long, that he could then record on top of? He put “ambient” in quotes recognizing that each musician would have a different definition of the term.
“It was an exciting challenge because I had no idea what they were going to send,” the guitarist recalls. “I didn’t give any guidelines other than putting ‘ambient’ in quotes.” Pirog would then push himself to react musically to whatever sonic guideposts he was given.
Anthony Pirog creates an ethereal and wondrous landscape with sound in his song “Inflorescence”. The addition of Andy Summers of the Police was a fantastic choice as he brings his legendary style to the song. We heard the rest of the album ahead of its release and we are very excited to share that with you! Check out “Inflorescence” below:
