Imaginary friends
Imaginary Friends was a remote collaboration with my dear friend, former music schoolmate, longtime bandmate and musical co-conspirator Benjamin Campbell during the early months of the pandemic. He sent me an early iteration of this beautiful, warm bed of low swirling synths, and all I could do was lie my weary trumpet down in it. I recall the trumpet melody coming to me almost immediately on first listen, haunting me as if it were still resonating from some past life. I sent Ben back these horn melodies with some added production and effects, he further refined the overall composition and production, and it evolved into a stunningly beautiful ambient track that highlights Ben's talent as a producer as well as a musician and composer, and is among the recordings I am most proud to have contributed to. Read a bit more about it on Ben's site.
