{"product_id":"747742387302","title":"TENDER \/ WADING | VINYL RECORD (LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eM. Sage, Tender \/ Wading finds Matthew Sage, aka M. Sage,  in the foothills and pastures of Colorado, writing,  recording, and returning to a patch of his homeland  and identity, one act of sympathetic care informing  the next. Constructed primarily on piano and clarinet,  and then embellished with guitar, modular synthesizer,  percussion, and field recordings captured around  the perimeter of his home, the album is a sweeping,  serene vision of vitality, radical softness, and the  reassuring sense of coming home, even if home has  changed.  Since the early 2010s, Sage has assembled  an idiosyncratic catalog of music that sprawls in  various sound directions, manifesting with releases  on Geographic North, Orange Milk, and Moon  Glyph, and garnering both critical attention and a  loyal listenership present for each new turn. In 2023,  Sage debuted on RVNG Intl. With Paradise Crick,  which coincided with his ongoing output within the  improvisatory ambient jazz quartet, Fuubutsushi, and  he now delivers his next solo endeavor and direction.  Tender \/ Wading follows Sage's return to Colorado  after nearly a decade in Chicago, now nurturing a  couple acres of neglected space with his young family  thirty miles outside his hometown. In a holistic contrast  to Crick's synthetic sound-world, Sage renders art  from the act of stewarding new growth, questioning  constructs of domestic life, and understanding the  footsteps of his former self through the dirt-smeared,  sweat-fogged lens of the present. The yield is his most  autobiographical material to date, marked by time and  changes in perception and\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"M.
