about

Preservation is a collaboration between drummer/composer Tommy Crane and artist/filmmaker Tracy Maurice that immerses the viewer in the mysteries of the natural world. Drawing from Crane's background in jazz and improvisational music, the original score mirrors the film, using analog synthesizers and sampling to create dynamic, ambient soundscapes that center around live drumming. In her experimental film and photography, Maurice creates a world of impressionistic vignettes using dance and microscopy to investigate themes of connection, transformation, and reoccurring patterns found in nature. The complete project is presented in four forms: an audiovisual live performance, a short film, a record, and an artists’ book.

The record is an exploration of texture and tone, analog and digital, and all the spaces in between. Lush, open, instrumental, and electronic. Taking you from a slow, vast, cosmic introduction into a world of forward momentum and energetic tempos that cut through ambient soundscapes, the unique blend of rhythm and texture leaves one delightfully untethered. In addition to Crane, the record features performances by Colin Killalea (Ex-poets, Albert Hammond Jr.), Eliot Krimsky (Glass Ghost) and Greg Chudzik (Steve Reich). The record is mixed by Grammy award winner (Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs) Mark Lawson.
