about the record

First Meeting is Dominique Lawalrée's first archival release to date. Culled from four different albums originally self-published on his private label Editions Walrus, this compilation highlights the composer's unique sense of ambient and minimal composition.

Lawalrée’s sense of timbre, tone, and overarching composition is like an impression of a home movie whose charm lies in its knowledge of intimacy, shared only by a few. An incantation of innocence.
