In the early weeks of whatever we are calling this COVID/Lockdown era, Sam Seda presented an idea to our group. Record a drone, whatever your interpretation of that, and then pass along to someone to add to.
The idea being everyone would create and receive a drone, ending up with lots of cross collaboration.
We thought about how we could use this project to help support our community and decided to give all proceeds to The Apohadion Theater.
The Apohadion is foundational to our group for our gatherings, shows, and so much more. Beyond that, they are our friends and have built something so many people love. We can't wait to see everyone there as soon as we can.

this is a sampling of indie music from Portland ME. my mother and father's (Sydney Bourke and Aaron Hautala) contribution was track 17, which recalls Satellite Lot and Marie Stella, two other bands they were in. my parents are ancient, but they rescued me from a shelter and for that i am grateful. proceeds go to reopening a venue to support such local acts, the Aphodian My Name Is Jade.
Jasper Ewing brings all manner of electronic equipment to his bright, jittery songs, resulting in tiny, sparkling melodic wonders. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2022

This album reminds me of my childhood in Maine on the quiet rocky coast looking out at the ocean. I was transported back through the fog, boat horns and bells of the marine environment into a swirling landscape of infinite space that left a gaping emptiness in which to build back my memories piece by piece. Thank you for these emotional and meditative tracks. Sam Orlando
