Dragon’s Eye Recordings is pleased to announce the release of The Deluge, the latest offering by Seattle’s Tyler Potts. Potts’ latest release is comprised of 11 new compositions that continue in his tradition of skillfully crafted melodies and textures made from instruments that time forgot. On The Deluge Potts breaks away from composing for dance to focus on creating works that are as much about song structure at they are about their relationships with one another. Throughout the release we find Potts weaving from melancholic to playful with the ease of no other with some pleasant surprises along the way.
