Product details
Anguilla is named for the eel, specifically the New Zealand Longfin Eel (Anguilla dieffenbachii) of Aotearoa, where double bassist William Taber hails from. In our initial meeting over Zoom, William happened to mention an enjoyment of the ocean, and that the lifecycle of the eel was particularly fascinating. I was intrigued by this, and read some online sources which describe the slow, decades-long process of maturation until finally the elderly mother eel swims a long journey to Tonga to lay her only batch of eggs then die. Anguilla is a melancholy musical exploration of this timeline.
