Toby mentioned in his AMA that he's already making new Alora Crucible material, so I'm happy that this seems to be a project that he wants to be active in.

this is very serene. Very similar thematically to Travis and Fripp's album Follow only this uses violin and that uses a flute.

This debut album from the Connecticut-based artist is an exploration of the post-rock sound and style of God Speed but without all the sound collage and field recording. Instead, it?s a new-age classical piece with somewhat progressive drones. Although to most this is a one-dimensional listen, there are some beautiful ideas on here. Those ideas might not be flushed out fully, this is still decent listen if you want some light yet vast music that puts you in the headspace of the distant past.

I thought this was shortlisted, but if its a real done deal nomination that’s great for him. He had posted a while ago how he was invited to be a voter or something.
