Multimedia artist Josh Varnedore finds inspiration in the hills of Ohio and Arkansas, where he prospects for crystals and natural objects of wood and bone to incorporate into his music and art. In a collaborative creation with nature - Arkansas crystals will serve as a guitar slide, and a deer jaw is another earthen bow - his ambient soundscapes reverberate with an ancient, earthen warmth.
As he traverses varied sonic terrain, Varnedore taps into voids to establish an immense gravity while threading delicate, weightless patterns from the natural world into shifting webs of harmonized melodies. The resulting songs are both glacial and luminous, golden-hued hums of an unspoken language that pulse and echo and decay and renew. His forthcoming debut project for the renowned Nashville-based ambient record label Hammock Music will begin releasing Spring 2024.
