First collaboration between Tobias R. Kirstein and John Duncan, prompted by a dream Kirstein had on 31 May 2019 - the day Roky Erickson died - in which Duncan repeated 'You Are Safe' against a backdrop of sine waves. Two long pieces result: Duncan voices texts (You Are Safe, the second 'Come To Me') sustained by Kirstein's slowly morphing electronic backgrounds, computer-generated drones that thicken into something close to insect resonance before settling. Process-led voice and electronics.

*Limited edition of 200 copies* "On May 31st, 2019, the day Roky Erickson from 13th Elevators died (I later found out), I woke up from a dream of sound and text. I dreamt that John Duncan kept repeating the words You Are Safe entangled with sine waves. So I instantly shot him a message asking if it was too weird to do exactly that. He replied: "not too weird". " -- Tobias R. Kirstein --

You Are Safe and Come To Me are the first two collaborative tracks by Danish composer/artist Tobias R. Kirstein and American composer/artist John Duncan.
