Percussionist Caleb Spaulding, while recovering from suspected Covid-19 related symptoms, explores the possibilities of field percussion while self-quarantining in his Brooklyn, NYC apartment. Using his space as a sonic landscape for recording, Caleb created percussive rhythms with traditional objects around the house, such as the felt of a sofa, containers, chairs, plants, and water bottles.
