about

Drawing ensō, the ancient Zen practice of drawing a circle in one or two fluid brush strokes. The aim is not precision of form, but fluidity of hand to arm to body to mind. When we attempt to draw a circle we are in essence simulating perfection - doomed by our body to fail. Drawing a circle to define. Drawing a circle to confine. To exclude. To protect. To end where you began.

Drawing a circle is Noah Rosa’s latest body of work. Created over a year of isolation in Montreal, the album functions as a sort of soundtrack to an imaginary documentary about the collapse of society. The 8 song run length dealing with themes of environmental anxiety, pain cycles, ancient wisdom, and nebulous spirituality.

All proceeds from this album's sales will go to Grassroots Al-Quds (www.grassrootsalquds.net) to support Palestinian resilience.

about

Noah Rosa Montreal, Québec

Noah Rosa crafts precarious sound sculptures that draw the listener into an uncanny world, both ancient and futuristic.
