AKP and pehrspace present bur.e\_ "seasons in migration" LP release, with an opening set by the trio of Nicole McCabe, Isaac Sherman and Dustin Wong.

**bu.re\_** is the handle of Devin Blair, a Los Angeles-born ambient producer and multi-instrumentalist. In his early twenties, Blair bought a field recorder and began recording ambience, quickly developing a deep interest in music revolving around textures, lush soundscapes, and noise; bu.re\_ is the compounding of these elements, placed over a bed of field recordings taken in a multitude of countries— an amalgamation of experiences.
Diaphanous, soothing, and atmospheric, *seasons in migration* blends tranquil synth pads, subtle field recordings, and electric piano with soaring flute and saxophone lines. The foundation of seasons is built on a 12-chord progression divided into 4 groups of chords— each group pertaining to a respective calendrical phase. Improvisation fills much of the remaining aural structure of the album, striking a balance between intention and letting go.
“Historically, seasons have provided us with a sense of the movement of time, with birth and death. beginning cycles that help us thrive; ending cycles that cause us suffering,” says bu.re\_, “this album serves as a reminder of that movement.” Beginnings and endings expressed in shimmering, feathery tones; warm naturalistic soundscapes with a persisting levity of hope.
