During that decade, Turn On The Sunlight’s Jesse Peterson and Mia Doi Todd welcomed their first child and co-founded a music venue in Los Angeles. When performance spaces were required to close at the start of the pandemic, Jesse’s focus shifted back towards home recording. Since ‘Warm Waves,’ five more Turn On The Sunlight albums have followed (including ‘Drives To The Beach,’ also on Tokonoma Records), all of which can be seen as an expansion of the musical direction set forth on this album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe group heard on ‘Warm Waves’ consists of musicians who Mia and Jesse were regularly playing with at the time - Sam Gendel, Mitchell Brown, Andres Renteria \u0026amp; Gabe Noel - joined by Laraaji, Arji \u0026amp; Luis Pérez Ixoneztli, making their first recordings together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe group’s blended signal was routed through Mitchell’s tape loops and modular synthesizer, which contributed to the unique communal sound of these recordings. Further extending this approach, Carlos Niño then reprocessed and reimagined ‘Passing Rain’ with Jamael Dean for his Elemental Beat Mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released one week into the official lockdown period, some listeners found the warm, collective sound well-suited for the time of introspection and shifting priorities that followed. Now, in 2026, ‘Warm Waves’ returns on vinyl to once again encourage peaceful contemplation and open-hearted togetherness, in echo of the spirit of its creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCredits\u003cbr\u003eSam Gendel: Saxophone \u0026amp; Electronics on A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3\u003cbr\u003eLaraaji: Voice \u0026amp; Zither on A3\u003cbr\u003eLuis Pérez Ixoneztli: Bird Sounds on A1, Aerophones \u0026amp; Water Drums on B2\u003cbr\u003eMia Doi Todd: Voice on A1, A2, B2, B3; Piano on A3\u003cbr\u003eJesse Peterson: Guitar, Bass, Organ \u0026amp; Bird Sounds on A1; Organ on A2; Guitar \u0026amp; Bass on A3; Wooden Whistles, Guitar, Ukulele \u0026amp; Piano on B1; Ice Breaking on B3\u003cbr\u003eAndres Renteria: Percussion on A1, A2, B1, B2, B3; Marimba \u0026amp; Percussion on A3\u003cbr\u003eMitchell Brown: Synthesizers \u0026amp; Magnetic Tape on A1, A2, A3, B2, B4\u003cbr\u003eGabe Noel: Bass on A2, A3, B1\u003cbr\u003eArji: Bells \u0026amp; Shells on A3\u003cbr\u003eCarlos Niño: Production \/ Remix on B4\u003cbr\u003eJamael Dean: Additional Keyboards on B4\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced, mixed \u0026amp; recorded by Jesse Peterson\u003cbr\u003eExcept B4, produced by Carlos Niño\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tokonoma (ESP)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43867011186747,"sku":"TK008BLACK","price":4830.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0096\/6832\/9531\/files\/TK008BLACK.jpg?v=1785134420","url":"https:\/\/www.stradarecords.jp\/products\/turn-on-the-sunlight-featuring-sam-gendel-warm-waves","provider":"Strada Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
