After supporting acts such as Perfume Genius, Tasha, and Hand Habits, Gregory has recently been pioneering innovative work in the realm of instrumental music. He has established a strong presence through his involvement in numerous cutting-edge recordings, including the serene ambient album *SmallDay*, the duo album *Doubles* with Meg Duffy, *WaterMap* with Dustin Wong, a trio project with Josh Johnson and Sam Wilkes, and works as part of the trance-jazz band SML.\n\nThis album, *ExtraStars*, is a distillation of those experiences, with 14 short pieces weaving gentle melodies and soundscapes infused with serendipity to create expansive soundscapes. Despite the near-total absence of percussion, the rhythmic sense is rich, and pastoral beauty coexists with intricate harmonies. It exudes a fresh charm as quiet electronic music with a deep musical structure that goes beyond mere ambient.\n\nThe album features contributions from accomplished musicians such as Alabaster DePlume, Anna Butters, Josh Johnson, Jeremiah Chiu, Booker Stardrum, and Tasha. Uhlmann’s unique playing and production—which transforms the guitar with ease—create a delicate and organic sound. The title was inspired by the countless stars seen in California’s Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest, and the music itself possesses a sense of scale reminiscent of the vast cosmos.\n\nWhile evoking Cluster \u0026amp; Eno, Terry Riley, and Yo La Tengo, “ExtraStars” has built a unique world that goes beyond mere reference, marking a new milestone in contemporary instrumental music.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
