Air Above Mountains are an instrumental trio who use free improvisation to create immersive, outward bound, and cinematic music. AAM have cultivated a sonic vocabulary over the past eight years by utilizing Jesse Gentes' dynamic layers of percussion; Destanne Lundquist's simultaneously dreamy + distorted offerings on MOOG Synthesizer, thumb pianos and effects; and Scott Bertram's unorthodox and lyrical approach to electric guitar and pedals. AAM’s atmospheric sound shifts prismatically through meditative and unsettling passages.
We're grateful to collaborate and produce on the shared, stolen, unceded, ancestral and traditional territories of Penelakut, Lamalcha, Hwitslum and other Hul’qumi’num speaking peoples, as well as the ceded territories of Tsawwassen First Nation, on what is now known as Galiano Island, British Columbia. We recognize the complex impacts that hosting settlers and non-settlers has on the Indigenous land and peoples of this area, and we aim to be responsible and accountable for these impacts and our footprint—whether cultural, environmental or social.
We acknowledge the generous support of our partners and funders:
