A voyage through the ever-changing heartland. The Death of an American Landscape charts the tension between two great American impulses: the ancient and the electric, the dust and the signal, the vastness of open country and the hum of the machine that remade it.
Synthesizer textures drift like heat off cracked earth. Ambient pads open wide as a prairie sky at nightfall. Underneath it all, the ghost of the West — its drama, its silence, its enormous melancholy — pushes through like a current you can feel but cannot name.
This is not nostalgia. It is a transmission from the landscape itself, received through circuits and strings in equal measure.
Signal & Frequency
Synthesized atmospheres, modulated drones, and processed field recordings form the invisible infrastructure of the record — the telegraph wires of a new century, carrying signal across impossible distances.
Dust & Distance
Melodic lines that carry the weight of the high desert, harmonic landscapes wide enough to lose yourself in — the Americana tradition distilled into pure instrumental emotion, mournful and untamed.
All tracks written, performed & produced by Lionel Cohen"The machine learned to grieve the land it crossed. The land learned to hum back."
