Drawing inspiration from everything that surrounds him -- the chirping of birds, conversations overheard in passing, mass transportation -- Burke submerges field recordings and other found sound amongst layers of sweeping melodic lines and percussive geometry. Today, following three principally electronic releases, Burke continues his focus on producing melodic music amidst a broader array of analog instrumentation and experimentation. All signals meander together through a hand-rendered daydream: unstable one moment, floating the next.

I discovered this song thanks to monument valley’s trailer back in 2013 and every once in a while I have to come back to listen it. Simply beautiful.

This whole album is my soundtrack when I travel, gazing out the window watching the clouds roll by below. Great work.

Been listening to the Cities of Cedar album for years now and I literally just lost my shit when I realized this song wasn't playing in the background on my computer but rather as a part of an episode of House of Cards. Oh my goodness, how incredible!!

Could you make the Wrought From The Wall EP available in iTunes please!!!

Anish Bose

hey, sure. the tracks were never mastered properly, either, so it might be a good time to give 'em that treatment, while i'm at it. thanks for the nudge.

[edit 08/18/2016 -- as promised, it is now available [remastered] on itunes!]

I love this song and I just bought the album! I don't know much about electronic music, but I love that distortion effect near the end. What is that called? Anyone have any more suggestions for music like this? Thanks

So, it is supposedly in the Monument Valley soundtrack according to the listing but I played the game and don't remember ever hearing this. At what part does it play?

Meir

If anybody still wants to know, it was only used in the trailers

labyrinth

i think it was the original soundtrack, im not sure though.

Faz Mania

I'm here thanks to Axolot.
