Ephemera

supported by

Lost Tribe Sound Another outstanding album from The Green Kingdom. Happy to hear Mr. Cottone once again dawning the acoustic guitar, reminiscent of The North Wind and the Sun, but with a little more electronics scattered back into the music! Sublime as always.

foolalot this music is beautiful :)

about

RTR welcomes Michigan-based multi-instrumentalist Michael Cottone, otherwise known under his performance name of The Green Kingdom, with his latest album, 'Ephemera'. The album contains twelve pieces that evolved from various sonic sketches; some appearing a raw and intimate acoustical passages, others offering beat-orientated electronic progressions. Cottone conjures a sense of deep reflection throughout the album, soundtracking the changing of seasons and inviting the listener into a dream-like state.

"Some of these pieces are recent sketches, conceived and recorded in the moment with little in the way of post production. Others are unused sketches composed for a video game soundtrack. Still others are early versions of final tracks or things that have sat dormant on the hard drive for some time, like the remix of Autumn Toadlick, a track from the first TGK album Meadowview. Whatever the case, I feel that everything coalesced into a nice little ad hoc Green Kingdom album" - Michael Cottone
