Dawn Chorus and the Infallible Sea is the trio of Zach Frizzell (aka zakè), Marc Ertel, and Damien Duque (aka City of Dawn). Each is a renowned composer of solo works in his own right, but as a unit they have created some of the most affecting classically-inspired, guitar-based works of the past decade – in particular, the inaugural full-length Liberamente (Azure Vista, 2020) and its gorgeous, shapeshifting follow-up Reveries (Sonic Cathedral, 2024). With an inventive approach that cross-pollinates a number of genres, they have adopted “dronegaze” as a preferred shorthand for the carefully layered, texturally rich themes that Stationary Travels praised as “cocoon[s] of serenity”. According to the artists, the creation of their works are heavily reliant on improvisation, intuition, and allowing the compositions to exist in their own moment; the aim is a feeling of fluidity and a sense that every instrument has its place and purpose.
