The Sound
Book / Album
The Sound is a book and the solo debut of Knox Chandler.
The Sound
At The Sound‘s core is Chandler’s “Soundribbons” style of meditative, powerfully cinematic instrumental performance on guitar, accompanied by upright bass and percussion which comprises the audio component of the release.
The visual portion is a book of paintings, photographs, sketches and written meditations, interpreting nature through technology. The blending of these mediums is Knox’s attempt to make the diaristic intent of his music explicit.
The book comes with a free redeem code for the album.
