Working under the moniker Drekka since 1996, composer Michael Anderson has spent the last twenty-five years touring, traveling, and collaborating extensively; collecting memories and building a very personal archive of sound. His work and performances touch on themes of silence, memory, and forgetfulness. Drekka has released a large body of work on labels such as Auris Apothecary, Dais, Fabrica, Morc, Silber, Somnimage, and Anderson’s own label, Bluesanct. Anderson has also recorded with and toured in the bands of Jessica Bailiff, Dylan Ettinger, In Gowan Ring, Lovesliescrushing, Annelies Monseré, Rivulets, Stone Breath, Timber Rattle, and Turn Pale.

TIMBER RATTLE is a roving, revolving, and ongoing music project that continues to explore the connections between primordial sound, landscape, and the music that have derived from our relationships to space and place throughout time. This contemplation manifests in a kind of “psyche-pastoral”, a music both spatially vast and intimately inward-looking, which seeks to create a celebratory and reflective environment that shares borders with nature and silence. While never straying too far from the mountain hymns that are at its roots, the songwriting – which simultaneously embodies and considers its own history and geography – is yet suffused with a vocabulary of drone, collected recordings, and sound experimentation.
