In Decline is a collection of guitar improvisations, orchestrated and re-composed for small ensembles.
"This album is kind of my ideal vision of a band I have wanted to be in for a very long time. Each piece is quite different while hopefully maintaining an overall sonic vision. Most pieces consist of a repeated modal phrase, while instruments follow the melodic progression and support the gesture or improvise over it." - WG
