Recorded
remotely
during

the
album
took
shape
in
the
form
of
mutual
compositions,
gradually
developed
and
embellished
online.
Final
recording
sessions
took
place
at
the
majestic
Chale
Abbey
Studios
on
the
Isle
Of
Wight
with
Moses
Boyd
(drums),
Tom
Herbert
(bass)
and
Siobhan
Cosgrove
(flute,

adding
elements
to
several
pieces.
Tracks

the
reflective,
wistful
single
‘Viento
Calido’
and
drifting
ambient
piece
‘Sabena’,
a
beautiful
tribute
to
Gigi’s
wife
who
sadly
passed
away
during
2022.
Greg
Foat
has
recorded
prolifically
in
recent
years
including

Best
known
for
his
1986
ambient
masterpiece
Wind
and
as
a
member
of
Gaussian
Curve,
Gigi
Masin
has
enjoyed
a
revival
in
recent
years
through
his
Calypso
album
on
R&S’s
Apollo
label
and
renewed
touring.
Dolphin
represents
Greg
and
Gigi’s
first
landmark
recording
collaboration
together.
“I
first
heard
Gigi’s
album
Wind
in
2016,”
remembers
Greg.
“I
was
living
in
Miami
and
I
heard
it
playing
one
Summer
evening.
Since
then,
it
has
always
been
in
my
mind
to
be
able
to
record
together.”
"This
album
is
a
tribute
to
the
joy
of
playing
together
and
creating
something
beautiful
and
exciting.
A
sincere
hymn
to
life"
(Gigi
Masin)
