A note from the composers:

"This is Jen Gilleran and Neil Welch, sending you a gift in the form of a 23 minute composition titled 'Flat Felled Seam.' This piece was commissioned by Nonsequitur for the Wayward Music Series Wayward In Limbo podcast, and it streams for free at waywardmusic.org

We have collaborated before, but what we have created here is entirely new to us - all that is happening is entirely new for each of us. It is with this awareness and immediacy that we offer 'Flat Felled Seam' to you as a beacon from a familiar ship - way in the distance and as close as breath. We love all of you, and we are so grateful for your ears and your own experience.

Keep safe and we will continue to find each other.

Please listen with headphones if possible.

Much Love,

Jen and Neil
