Without Star or Compass

Description

Kennebec is the critically acclaimed musical outlet of Eric Phillips, a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist living in Portland, Oregon. Drawing from an eclectic array of influences to create his unique style of cinematic electronic music, he presents his sophomore album “Without Star or Compass”. Following the release of his debut “Departure” at the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, “Without Star or Compass” was written and recorded during a phase in Phillips’ life that enabled him to re-examine his motivations. “The primary initial influence for this record was that, more so than ‘Departure,’ I wanted to write this record for my friends and for others rather than for myself. Perhaps this is also a product of maturing, but I wanted the music to communicate more clearly to others, and be less of an exercise for myself.”
