Earlier this year, Sydney’s Cameron Webb aka Seaworthy and Perth’s Matt Rösner released a 22-minute track for Andrew Khedoori’s Longform Editions called Bundanon. These two expert ambient artists are longtime proponents of combining music and field recordings, and have previously collaborated on an album in 2021. Their follow-up, Deep Valley is again released on Taylor Deupree’s 12k, and like the eponymous track, it was recorded during a residency at Bundanon, the beautiful estate in the Shoalhaven that used to be the home of Arthur Boyd. The landscape that Boyd painted is deeply embedded in the tunes here, where any musical performances can take minutes to enter. In these pieces, the birds, insects, frogs, waterways and foliage are equally important as the guitar, piano and electronics. Truly lovely.
