10+ years later, they are still weaving dreamy, haunting melodies with atmospheric soundscapes.

Both musicians have been playing committedly since their late teens. Both bring playing and listening to left-of-center rock and chamber music to this meeting place of spiritual, ethereal sounds - which is not the contradiction it may seem at first, as the willingness to experiment and explore is a foundation of each.

The music Jeff Sampson and Sean Carroll create is lush and minimal; melodic and drone-like; pastoral and edgey. It places a travel mat in the minds of listeners, coaxing them to go wherever one's thoughts need take them - wherever their emotional state need be. Over the years, the duo has explored sonic and emotional territory that falls under many different "spirits" - from aboriginal to eastern orthodox, from caverns to lofty peaks, from breeze-filled summer fields to close encounters with introspection.

Sampson-Carroll's music says many different things to many different people. It's music from and to the collective heart. The duo acknowledges that everyone who, and everything that, has come before influences what is. They are merely a serendipitous channel.
