Attaching Softness is a collection of detailed microsound pieces including collaborative works with Calika and Henry Duclos. It includes the original full-length version of Attaching Softness to a Shell. This track amplifies and recontextualises the musicality of natural sounds, setting them in an environment musical and rhythmic flows. At times the track is pure recordings (incorporating the work of Professor Andrea Polli – who extrapolated data regarding hurricanes and used this to generate sound).
