about

The world's first full-length all-instrumental, all-Weissenborn album.

"This entire album is made using Weissenborns. Excluding the bonus track, there are no other instruments used. I wanted to explore the sonic possibilities of the instrument in the same way that I wanted to explore its harmonic possibilities. I wanted to tell a Weissenborn story. ― Thomas Oliver
