Steve Brand about this album: "Upwelling: Emergence,” like it’s predecessor, “Upwelling” (2011), is collection of epiphanies, experiments, singular moments, re-workings, remixes and re-discoveries. Tracks were recorded between 2009 and 2017. Some of the music for this collection, like “Innervoice” and “Krater Of Earth" were completed while working on previous albums, but eventually set aside for various reasons. Some like, “Black Rock Temple” and “Womb Of Earth” were improvised in moments of inspiration and depth of feeling. Still others, “Names That Cannot Be Spoken” and “Host,” are remixes and rethinkings of tracks that were originally released on compilations. “Near Earth” was created exclusively for this compilation and is an extension of my recent “Near Series…” trilogy.
