about

This is the project that our performance at Echoes in 2017 inspired. Vin, Jeff, and I decided to see what would happen if we let ourselves wander together into the music. We gathered at my studio with no preconceptions about what we were going to play. I had some ambient loops prepared, and we picked a few to give us landscapes to play into... and then we just explored and responded to each other in the moment. I love how it turned out... and I particularly love that Vin played electric guitar and was completely at home with the slow drift that Oster and I have spent so much time in. Hope you love it!


Seven Conversations

A shimmering blend of Jeff Oster’s liquid Flugelhorn, Vin Downes’ dreamy electric guitar, and Tom Eaton’s watercolor touch on keyboards and bass. At times soft and emotional, at times driving and propulsive, the album explores deeply ambient territory across seven in-studio improvisations.

From the liner notes:

"my admiration for tom and vin as musical artists is exceeded only by my appreciation of their wry humor. sometimes laughter comes from the deepest places, just like this music."
- jeff oster

"an indescribable alchemy happens when good friends create music together in the moment. words are unnecessary. these musical conversations capture that magic so well."
- vin downes

"we chose a key and one of us began. nothing written, no safety net. the real trick to improvising in a group is not the playing, it's the listening, and these are two of the very best listeners out there."
- tom eaton
