about

Hidden Amongst the Trees and Foothills was recorded this past spring during what I would describe as a very weird time of feeling isolated and disconnected with both myself and others. Playing guitar has been a constant source of peace for me and these are some tracks that came out of this period of isolation.

Over the past several months, I really started diving into fingerstyle playing, having found the music from John Fahey, Jack Rose, and Robbie Basho. Fahey in particular was a huge inspiration for some of these tracks and is what led me to develop a love of Open C tuning.

released August 9, 2019

All tracks written and produced by Ethan Helfrich. All arrangements were recorded into a Tascam MF-P01 using a Harmony H165, a Recording King 000, and a broken Kent 12 string. Pedals varied, but usually included an el Capistan, DD-3, Canyon delay, a Ditto X2, a volume pedal, and a Russian Big Muff (for Woodsmoke).

Recorded in my small apartment in Evanston, IL between January and April 2019.

For Michol, with love forever.
