Copal River

Copal River is an intriguing collaboration project between ambient artists Scott Turner (Not Your Average Hippy, Cluster Balm) and Darrell Burgan (Palancar, Cluster Balm). Founded around both the concept of face to face live improvisation and the concept of finely detailed studio production, Copal River is music for the discerning ambient palate.

Darrell and Scott hope you find the music as fulfilling as they did making it.

(BWR035) Copal River - Copal River

Sometime a few years ago, Scott Turner and Darrell Burgan decided to take a weekend off, travel to a lovely retreat by the water, and spend a few days immersing themselves as deeply as possible in some live ambient improvisation. They called this their first "ambient weekend". While Scott and Darrell had worked on projects together before, this face to face improvisation struck a chord deep within each of them. The music that came from these sessions seemed to them to be the embodiment of what their ambient music was meant to be.

In the months and years that followed, Darrell and Scott enjoyed several other such ambient weekends with each traveling to the others home state and studio. Naturally, they made a point to record these sessions, and later with encouragement from family and friends decided to release them.

This first release is the result from one of those weekends. Darrell and Scott hope that you find this music as fulfilling to listen to as it was to make.
