about

"... without a doubt one of the most unique solo guitar records of the last year." - Record Crates United

"These are songs for the sweet aromas of a summer sunset and for the fires burning in the deep midwinter. Himes catches the cadence of a drifting cosmic wave and settles into the space from which spells are cast. It cleanses and lifts us back into the early kisses of morning aloft on dust clouds. There’s a lifetime of still memories packed into a few languid minutes." - Foxy Digitalis

"Minneapolis musician Matthew Himes has created something understated but possessing of a great emotional gravity. Himes lets these sounds move at their own pace, never drawing them out longer or shorter than necessary, with each moving to their own needs and desires." - Beats Per Minute

This music has been created in the spirit of protection, with each track being devoted to a unique respective force, from elemental flora to deities of antiquity.

"Cassiope" is an offering of new instrumental works and improvisations from Matthew Himes made over the past year. The work has been created through a range of technique and approach, moving through intimate acoustic improvisation and pastoral shimmer, to deep cosmic drift and howl.

A blessing upon the house.
