“A prolific musician for many years, Lush Vegetation isn’t J.T. Gladysz’s first album, but rather his solo debut as a composer of ambient electronic music. Clocking in around 40 minutes across ten tracks, it was recorded between his home studio in Vancouver and a cabin on Gossip Island. An overall sense of stillness and seclusion permeates these sometimes melancholic, semi-improvised sonic meditations. Influence of the natural world is evident, with snippets of field recordings taken around the Pacific Northwest and Gulf Islands strewn throughout, striking a delicate balance with the musical elements. The resulting album feels deeply personal, akin to a diary or travelogue. Close your eyes and you can practically feel the vast expanse of the ocean and the aura of giant trees in the sacred, ancient forests of the region.” -Constantine Katsiris

“The first time we listened to Lush Vegetation, we felt a peaceful celebration of the world around us, followed by the smoothest lift-off into other realms. With a unique sensibility, J.T. Gladysz masterfully guides us on a voyage through moments of varying scales, revealed through artefacts hidden in field recording fragments and evocative titles. It’s a wonderful album that celebrates moments of serene solitude and meaningful connection—both human and cosmic in nature.” -Frédérique Duval and Christian Richer
