Seaworthy (recording project of Cameron Webb) and Matt Rösner recently released their debut collaboration, Two Lakes, on 12k. Two Lakes documents a three day field recording trip to the New South Coast, capturing the sounds of two coastal lake ecosystems at the Lakes Termeil and Meroo. During breaks in the field recording process, a small studio was setup in a nearby beach house where improvised recordings of guitars, electronics and ukulele were made. From the field recordings and instrumental takes, Two Lakes was created.
Brainwashed.com describes Two Lakes as “having a sense of life and timelessness” and “one of the best statements of environmentalism possible, because rather than being just rheotoric, it captures the actual essence of nature amongst the songs”

This mix for Symbiosis is made up of a live set recorded last year at Sydney’s Serial Space. The recording documents the first time we had collaborated. The take is completely improvised with no rehearsal beforehand, it was just a case of arrive at the venue and play.
At the end of the live set, the mix features a short re-working of material from the Two Lakes sessions. Processed ebowed guitar recorded are set against a recording taken in a dense area of sedges surrounding Lake Meroo.
Seaworthy + Matt Rösner play dates in Sydney and Perth in late October and early November to launch the Two Lakes.
