Calmpositions is Yako 440's sophomore album, which accompanies
a book by the same title. Both the album and book are curated from
daily practices of making music loops and sketches in lined composition notebooks. Energetically calming, these works are a meditative pursuit rather than one that requires an audience. Thanks for taking the time to look and listen...
