Introducing a super charged split LP featuring the talents of Cameron Stallones aka
Sun Araw and Spencer Clark’s duo with Jan Andersen, Tarzana.


What originally started as an Aquapelago inspired residency in the summer of 2021
quickly developed into its own thing. Truth be told, both artists always surfed their
own personal waves of musical freedom, so Aquapelagos Vol.2 album became Aqua
X, a split offshoot work featuring rehashed Tarzana composi[ons on one side and a
live presentation form Cameron’s residency in the island of Tenerife around Keroxen
festival’s 13th Edition. With two artists very dear to us this split LP picks up perfectly
on the aquapelagic concept and twists inside out into worlds high and below creating
a further testament to both’s artists oeuvres. Here’s an extract of Professor Haywards
original liner notes regarding the music:

‘’The tracks on this album reflect the geo-cultural posi[on of Californian-based
musicians, Cameron Stallones, (who records here under the Sun Araw moniker), and
Spencer Clark and Jan Andersen’s (performing as Tarzana) with oceanic atmospheres
and structures of feeling.


Sun Araw’s dedica[on to producing subtle, flowing, psychotropic composi[ons can
be read as an a`unement to the oceanic sublime. Recorded within the disused
Keroxen tank in Santa Cruz harbour in Tenerife, The Canary Suite is an extended piece
that features a mix of electronic pulses, short synthesizer fragments and distorted
guitar bursts. The textures are relatively sparse throughout, with a linear emotional
contour sustained by an ongoing melodic play within a defined band of possibilities
before settling into a calmer, soothing and floating mood, like an aural floatation
tank.


Tarzana’s tracks artfully blend simple synthesizer tones, vocal exhortations, and an
assortment of treated instrument sounds to create a pulsing, wandering and restless
music. Short rhythmic ostinato fragments push and pull against bold blown pipes and
horns while subtle darker colours and shades intermittently move through the
soundscape to intensify the mood. This is busy and dense music but with an orderly
flow and internal sense of motion that sweeps up the listener in its wake, like a
sailing ship propelled through tropical seas.’’
