Saapato - In Alaska - Tape

A sweeping study of abundance, grandeur, intrusion, and the weight of what may soon be lost. Weaving panoramic hydrophone recordings with supple synth melodies and textures, In Alaska renders seven site specific compositions that feel as vast as the land they came from.

01 - West Glacier Trail
02 - Ravens
03 - 6am Rainforest Drone
04 - Echo Cove
05 - Salmon Run
06 - Port Snettisham
07 - Whale Watching Boats

Written, recorded and mixed by Saapato
Mastered by Ben Etter
