spiffy_james Photay owns his unique sound finding a balance between Jazz, Dance, and Ambient that comes across incredibly human. Something resonates in his sounds with so much intention that can lull you into a calm hypnotic dance session. Favorite track: Derecho.

inowheeno Loved this straight away! Air Lock is now stuck in my head first thing when I wake up in the morning and kick starts my noggin into productivity. "Still Existing" is a close second. Very beautiful! More of this please!! Favorite track: Air Lock (Air Tight Mix) *Bonus Track*.

about

Windswept is the fifth solo album from Photay, the nom de plume of electronic naturalist, experimental-pop beatmaker and composer Evan Shornstein. Initiated when the producer created a synthesizer patch called “wind,” the nine-song cycle is under the spell of the titular weather element, its compositions touching upon the movement of air’s influence on human existence and emotional states, our hopes and dreams. Windswept, home-rave-ready and ghostly with its machines, brings together the various versions of Photay’s trademark sonic warmth and hardware pastoralism.
