tracklist

undertow
slow swell of filtered piano and hydrophone recordings from the harbor at 3am

warm analog drones melting into the orange glow of pier lamps through fog
3
ferry weather
rhythmic tape loops syncing with engine hum and gull cries crossing the channel
4
closing time
final chord progression dissolving into waves against the seawall, then silence

low tide collective is mara kelso and jin-woo park, two producers based in port meredith, a coastal city where the fog rolls in before sunset and stays until noon.

their process begins with field recordings — tide pools, creaking dock lines, wind through seawall grates — captured on a battered cassette recorder. these fragments are looped, degraded, and woven into compositions that feel less written than weathered.
