Liis Ring - Homing
by Liis Ring
Joe Borreson
Joe Borreson
a hazy dream of home and all its multifaceted meanings— from memories of home, to our ideals of what home and coming home means — that’s wrapped up in a warm blanket of gently layered song, voice, melody & field recordings. Even the sound of conversation and a cats purr are intertwined.
The physical edition comes with handwritten notes about the recordings on entirely handmade paper packaging with a generous set of Liis’s ethereal and unique photographs to tie the pieces and visuals together! Favorite track: after-image VI: natt.

about
homing is the ability to return home over great distances.
but those distances often exceed physical dimensions.
for a home is much more than just a place.
it is also people.
memories.
feelings.
maybe
a sound,
an image.
’Homing’ is a return to a home in the metaphysical sense; a home
for someone who doesn’t have one to return to, or for someone
whose home is an afterimage of fragmented memories, spread
across the universe.
but those distances often exceed physical dimensions.
for a home is much more than just a place.
it is also people.
memories.
feelings.
maybe
a sound,
an image.
’Homing’ is a return to a home in the metaphysical sense; a home
for someone who doesn’t have one to return to, or for someone
whose home is an afterimage of fragmented memories, spread
across the universe.
