about

A dear friend, Dominique, recently did research on fig wasps and created a documentary to present their findings.
After a conversation in which they described to me their research, I was intrigued. I wrote “fig tree” in the wake of their words.
I was picturing myself exploring a small grove in the evening, watching the tiny insects go about their lives as the sun begins to set and the moths start to appear.

A few weeks later this dear friend asked me to to compose some music for their documentary.
It was my first time attempting to score a film like this and I was excited to try my best.
My tiny guitar was tuned to Bb, G, C, F, A, D, the same tuning as “fig tree.”
These are a few excerpts from the soundtrack.

Thank you to Dominique Vassie for her continued support, friendship, and allowing me to use her illustration as the album cover.
