Search - Ezekiel Honig and Morgan Packard :: Early Morning Migration (Dig)

Following previous successes individually, Honig and Packard come together for this initial collaborative release. Early Morning Migration is comprised of abstract 4/4 rhythms made of an array of found sounds, coupled with supremely warm, deep pianos, looming, textural pads, and colorful, shifting ambience. Fragments of expressive sound rub up with real world edits, clanky percussion and long melodic passages. It creates a world that is introspective and melancholy just as much as it is friendly and inviting; just as natural and organic as it is electronic. Each producer contributes their individual styles and abilities, Packard using his methodical approach, which is heavily informed by his classical training, alongside Honig's more observational, cut and paste perspective. The songs were conceived and produced separately, but the awareness of what it was a part of, and the ideas and influence of the other person, helped to sculpt the finished product into what it is. Keeping each other in mind, each track helps its surroundings to build an expansive arena, incorporating micro-rhythm and modern composition.
