My first indie show in San Francisco was Tarentel and Sweet Trip at Endinburgh Castle in 1999. Tarentel's music soared off the stage and exploded in my ears, opening my mind to new sonic possibilities. Jefre and I became friends when I reviewed Tarentel's full-length album, From Bone To Satellite for Salon.com. When I considered musicians for the seasons series, Jefre was on the top of my list. (Six years later, I would have an opportunity to work with Sweet Trip.)
TRACKLISTING
01 Night Falls on 15th Street
02 The Bougainvillea at Twilight

PRESS
"SPRING is the sound of inner worlds, of vital functions that lie beneath language, perpetually shifting and pulsing with somatic activity. Only occasionally does a discernable rhythm or ghost melody surface in Colophon's murky ambient soundscapes." (Epitonic)
"Following the lead of fellow dreamy code-slingers Ekkehard Ehlers and Stephan Mathieu, Cantu-Ledesma transforms his source material into a beautiful pixelated ambience haunted with residual melodies and distant rhythms." (Aquarius Records)
"SPRING offers a warm, vocal-less ambience of droned guitars and sound effects that communicate the subtle beauty of the season... mirroring the natural transformations of a bleak, wintry landscape to one of life." (Somewherecold)
Jefre and Danny are founding members of the band Tarentel. Danny is also a member of The Drift.
