Origin In the long-ago Freezing Time, Our Mother grew weary of cold and dreamed of a kinder nursery for her beloveds. She birthed her dream. Ong namo guru dev namo Ong so hung, Ong so hung Our Mother labored savagely. So fierce and fevered were her pains that mammoth glaciers retreated; gone ice swelled the seas, flooded valleys, Ong namo guru dev namo Ong so hung, Ong so hung fashioned confusions of water: salty and sweet, thirsty for light, outflow and upwell thick with life. Exhale named the child Estuary Ong namo guru dev namo Ong so hung, Ong so hung Julie Bloodworth Copyright 2018

about

Hi. I'm Schltz. I'm a classically trained music professor living in the San Francisco Bay Area. This is my debut album, Estuary.

One day I was having burritos with one of my students. He had just released his first solo album. He told me that for the first time he had made music that he wanted to bump in his own car. I was vexed. 

In my musical life up to that point I had written a number of interesting and aesthetically satisfying pieces--and a lot of uninteresting, aesthetically disappointing pieces as well. However, I had never written anything that inspired me enough to listen to *for enjoyment* in my own car. Not really anything that came close. I hadn't even realized that this was something I wanted to. 

Until now.

Estuary is a confluence of multiple musical experiences. The tracks on this album are influenced by my grounding in the world of academic concert music, my explorations as an experimental art musician and technologist, my saltier times as a baritone saxophone player in jazz, blues and country bands, and my current life in which I am a professor of music production and beat making. I find the music on this album to be true to all of these influences, without having denied anything from any of them. This has been satisfying, and I finally have written something I want to listen to in my own car.

I hope you enjoy.
