Earnest Earth

Earnest Earth is the second site-specific album from woodwind/sound artist Hunter Diamond (Chicago) and drummer/sound designer Justin Peake (NYC/New Orleans).
Captured on the Earnest Earth farm in Chicago's Garfield Park neighborhood, this recording blends equal measures of ambient soundscape, field recording, and free improvisation.
Entrancing durational minimalism quilted into remarkable dialogues between artist and environment that animate the coexistence of urban and agricultural landscapes within a sprawling Chicago neighborhood.
