about the record

In Transit by the duo Lia Kohl & Zander Raymond from Chicago is built around a collection of field recordings made in spaces of transit—bus stops, train stations, taxis—blended with the accordion and modular synthesizer textures of Zander Raymond, and the cello and synthesizers of Lia Kohl.

The record features eight instrumental tracks composed from these raw captures of transient zones, harmonized and enriched with musical treatments and arrangements. Combining acoustic and electronic sources, these compositions create an atmosphere that is both familiar and dreamlike, blurring the boundaries between the real and the imaginary.
