From Andrew Tuttle
I first knew of Darren through his earlier band Gerling, who were an inspiration to me at a time when I was absorbing new sounds, genre experimentation and discovering the broader world at large. In recent years we’ve come to know each other and become friends, as our musical paths have in many ways aligned. Darren’s D.C Cross solo/‘ecstatic' guitar project is responsible for some of the finest current wave of that form of music going around and it’s been a pleasure hearing the project develop and expand.

After a fair bit of back and forth with the creation of my solo music over the past while, I found making this album with Darren so freeing and liberating. Darren and I gave ourselves a few parameters to work with, ruling in as much as ruling out ideas/genres/instruments, and as a result had a lot of freedom to bounce ideas off of each other. The anticipation of receiving new music to play around with, recording new sounds in return, and the emails and phone calls resulted in a really enjoyable start to 2026.


From Darren Cross
I’ve known Andrew for a while now, always affable, I worked with him before on his wonderful Fleeting Adventure album and a few other things and we have always kept in touch. He approached me to do this project in the beginning of 2026. It started with drones that we sent each other and we soon found that magic porthole space of the Tuttle / Cross collaboration.

Sometimes, as all of us musicians know, this takes much effort and time- but with this project we just found the magic straight away, using our own unique sounds that complimented each other's ideas and sound worlds. It was nothing but joy to jump into this Tuttle / Cross Ecstatic, Celestial sonic plane.
