*100 copies limited edition* An absolutely gorgeous long-form piece for trombone, its sustained tones billowing into spectral rumbles that open up trance-inducing harmonic spaces. Simultaneously monumental in scale and introspectively meditative, This Is What People Think Mountains Look Like leaves the brain swirling for days with its reverberations. The venue is vital to the overall recording given its reverberant nature, allowing Barbier to follow the sound of their own trombone as it develops in the space.
