Sculptures is composer and pianist Derek Hunter Wilson's third solo album, an ode to the ancient and contested shorelines of the Pacific Northwest. Deeply embedded in place, the six longform pieces that make up the album reflect the artist's journey through grief (including losing his father) and the passage of time, each one built upon loops created from extended sessions with harpist Joshua Ward. Like the foggy, moss-encrusted locations that inspired the album, Sculptures has a timeless feel to it, shadowed by the rumblings of a colonial system in decay. Award-winning poet Mathias Svalina composed a poem for the album, entitled "A Dream for Sculptures." It is reproduced on an insert that accompanies each LP. Derek Hunter Wilson is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Portland. He has released two solo albums on Beacon Sound, Travelogue (BNSD 016LP, 2017), and Steel, Wood, & Air (BNSD 035LP, 2019), as well as a collaborative album with Location Services entitled Wake (BNSD 066LP, 2022).
