A Pasture, Its Limits marks the debut album from Los Angeles-based composer Isaac Sherman. Drawing on a hybrid palette of synthesizers, woodwind-like samples, electric guitar, watery field recordings, and processed vocals, Sherman constructs swirling collages of sound—at once tactile and ephemeral—where pop fragments are suspended like snapshots between granular textures and recursive loops.
Themes of weather, longing, and personal transformation saturate fragmented falsettos and repetitive grooves, evoking the diaristic intimacy of Arthur Russell and short poetic verses of Laurie Anderson. Elsewhere, instrumental moments evolve with a slow meditative repetition echoing the reflective minimalism of Terry Riley, Laurie Spiegel, Maman Sani and Hans-Joachim Roedelius.
A Pasture, Its Limits is both a record of time and place. Spanning several years and two cities, it gathers material first sketched in Milwaukee and later reworked following Sherman’s move to Los Angeles. Across its duration, the album holds traces of a temporal shift—layered, stretched, and reassembled into an affective document shaped by distance, memory, and unfolding.
