Tone Ranger – “Channel” and “Wonder”
Americana Highways presents this premiere of Tone Ranger, aka Alex Simon’s new two sided singles: “Channel” and “Wonder,” from his forthcoming album Confluence, which is set for release on August 8. The album was produced and mixed by Alex Simon, and mastered by Maxim Trotter.
Musicians on “Channel” and “Wonder” are Elena Shelton on vocals; Alex Simon on marimba, xylophone, guitar, omnichord, drums, bass, and field recordings, and Serena Reiki on singing bowl.
Singing bowls are in the mix here but the beats are forward driving for these electronic songs that come from earthy tones and vibrations.
“Channel” and “Wonder” were both born from following the mystery within the music itself. They are songs which feel like spaces we can inhabit – realms to explore – rather than set structures. The main influence for both tracks was real life experience rather than other music. I recorded bells chiming in Santa Barbara, singing bowls in Santa Fe, my daughter playing a game with my wife. These songs are like patchworks, assembled from beautiful moments in my life. – Alex Simon
