greyfield by bode and steven leak

Steven: This is Bode and my third project together.

For this music, Bode sent me a long single stem of music labelled “dark ambient”. I then worked and played with this stem, initially separating it into two sections, so that they formed a foundation for the music that I then added to them. I had in my head this idea of blended materials that together created something new and perhaps strong.

“greyfield” is a gentle place. a little cinematic, a bit dark, sometimes gritty, textured and smeary, and hopeful.

I’m grateful to Bode for his generosity and encouragement.

Bode: "After listening to our third album together I can only say one thing: how much I love Steven Leak and his music! This man's natural talent for composing Ambient Music with his unusual instruments and objects and his patience to work in partnership with me and my algorithmic paraphernalia are two things I admire about him a lot. May there be many more projects of his with me in the future, because I'm addicted to it."

I am a Canadian musician who creates soundscapes that are created with Arturia Microfreak and Minifreak synthesizers various electronic devices , pre-recorded loops, field recordings, and found sounds. I am a member of "The Forever Moment" a band where I co-create music with Mark Cook.
