“Evans is making a difficult genre more accessible.” - LA Weekly
“always forward thinking” - Tiny Mix Tapes
“...mirroring the stretched timelessness of meditation and exploring the unfamiliar nooks in seemingly familiar sounds.”
- The Believer
Time Being is a new single by experimental composer Nat Evans - a feedback-filled wall of sound with guitars and a chorus of conch shells, bass drones and cymbals. Traversing a wild sonic landscape, the work brings the listener back to this present moment. The title and conceptual content is drawn from writings by 13th century Zen teacher Dogen, acknowledging the cyclical, nonlinear way of time and how we and all beings navigate and exist within it.
This new single Time Being features Will Hayes on guitar, who recently recorded with Stephen O’Malley of Sunn O))) on Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score for the horror film Mandy. The album art is by artist Erin Elyse Burns, and is entitled, The Full Weight of Me.
Time Being will be released everywhere Friday, August 23rd and will be available everywhere digitally.
