Last year
@malus.malice hit me and said, "hey, I have something I want you to hear". I listened, and it was perfect. I asked them, "what is this thing... and is there more of it"? They said "no", so I said, "make more". And they did.

The final product is The Etching, by Maeve Schallert, presented by my operation
@thecowartsprogram and
@astralspiritsrecords . I don't really wanna talk about the concept of the lp too much, you can read the liner notes for that.

I originally planned to release this record in the Spring following the latest
@jjjessicapppavone String Ensemble masterpiece and the debut Oku by
@adnataensemble during the "Spring of Strings ". Unfortunately, life got in the way and more time was needed to work on this.

I wanna thank Maeve for trusting me with their first outing. It means the world to me. I wanna thank
@wesleyharper__ +
@tytywood for their ears and skills. I wanna thank this project's godmother, (
@zazazapp ) Eliza Grace Martin (of
@luakabop ) for taking so much time on the essay accompanying this record. My brother
@duanegaray , your photography gifts make the world the Blackest place in the universe. Thank you.
@tinylittlehammers thank you for taking my little design and adding your genius layout plan to it.
@astralspiritsrecords I owe you so much. If you'd ever be in danger I'd give a pinky toe to save you and your wonderful family.
