So glad this tape finally arrived! @andrewhowie.bsky.social drops “unreachable” by his slow_the_tape project on Autoclave Records. Almost-improv’d to four-track, each piece of this mini album was inspired by and composed after reading each chapter in philip toshio sudo's book “zen guitar.” Love it!
