Now Zoning by Natural Flavors
Natural Flavors’ second album, Now Zoning, is all NOW man; these tender airwaves are intended to transport you through nostalgia with a grounding presence. These zones emerge from a collaborative process of structured improvisation. An intellectual mold is conceived and delicately filled with a particular mood until the music can hold the shape on its own and become something all together itself.
The first half of this album was recorded on a beautiful day at Pease Park in Austin, Texas. The three musicians held space for a live audience with a two-hour musical improvisation: beginning in one key and chromatically moving through keys a half-step at a time. The tracks selected were some of their favorite moments from this event.
The second half of the album was recorded in Grainger Weston’s home on the same weekend. These songs were born from a process of thinking about the music as sculpture shaped by time and the emotive movement of harmony.
