Matt Mcbane's Bathymetry with Sandbox Percussion

Sandbox percussion partners up with Composer/Performer Matt
McBane on an 8-movement virtuosic underwater
adventure. Drawing on classical minimalism, electronic
production, ASMR Youtube videos, and the diverse landscape
of ambient modular synth music, Bathymetry features
McBane’s Moog synth with Sandbox Percussion on a mix of found
instruments (mixing bowls, ping pong balls, glass bottles, etc.),
orchestral percussion (vibraphone, tam tam, etc.), and drum sets.


‘Bathymetry’ is the study of the “beds” or “floors” of water
bodies, including the ocean, rivers, streams, and lakes.. McBane
began studying bathymetry as an ocean-obsessed teenage surfer.
The bathymetry of the ocean floor is a key factor on how waves
break. On the album, the bass synthesizer interacts with the
treble percussion in ways reminiscent of how the ocean floor
shapes the waves passing above.
