glass-mastered 2xCD set with photography by Johnny Utterback, limited edition of 150

Full Spectrum Records is honored to present a career-spanning retrospective from a long-time member of our extended label community, tanner menard. Entitled ‘you had not changed but your cameras were no longer identical: Retrospectives & Rereleases,’ this expansive collection compiles early recordings and works for labels including H.L.M., Install, and Slow Flow Rec, as well as unpublished material from the archives.

Dating as far back as 2008, the work on display here is deeply personal to its core and unfurls slowly, revealing itself in patient gradations. Dedicated to friends and fellow sonic explorers like Jeph Jerman, Johnny Utterback, Brian Grainger, and the late Danielle Daquet-Long, among others, this music revels in the vibrancy of its creative moment.

In their own words, from the album’s liner notes:

“I am honored to have the opportunity to see the work of a decade reprinted on a label that I have come to deeply respect & honor. In the end, the music we make, the poetry we say into the world, resonates at the frequency of love that we have for the people in our lives.

There is a story, essay worthy, of how all of these pieces came into existence. I believe that the vibe of the 2000s ambient scene was the resonance, the dust of 911 settling into a sort of ambient haze. The scene breathed itself out of the dust of Afghanistan, Iraq, the sadness of civilization doing its best to sing through early AI networks. So many people that I never met IRL but whose hearts were beating through me & the work I did in my varied bedrooms.

I have dedicated all of these pieces to the people I loved & who helped me bring them into the world. There were so many others from this time period. We had a vision. We had a sound. It changed the sonic volume of the entire universe of sound.

This album is dedicated to a little studio in Littlefield, Texas where my music lives now.”
