John and I have known each other since college—a friendship that is now approaching 20 years strong. His own music—especially his solo work—inspired me to continue making my own work (after a long period of not doing so) and to also start Florabelle as a hobby label to release his work and mine. After continuing our little mutual appreciation society for years, John asked me to send him some recordings I had made of chimes, especially ones to cassette—the kind of recordings that served as the foundation for Afternoon Hours and Fricatives. He’d been looking to experiment with some different textures and tones and I was totally willing to oblige. Using that music as a starting point, he then began to shape that music in Ableton and MIDI processes to the point where it became something new for the both of us. Some back and forth ensued about what sounded best, which tracks felt complete, and we finally emerge with this album, Call Me When You Can. Being able to release this was a bright spot during a really uncertain time (spring of 2020) and being able to work with Fluid Audio again made it even sweeter.
