Eli West builds acoustic songs around collaboration and place
Eli West records and writes within a documented acoustic roots world shaped by collaboration, design thinking, and the Pacific Northwest. Bandcamp describes Tapered Point of Stone as an album of original songs and tunes, and says West “sees music architecturally.” The same source links the record to his grief after his father’s death and to a quartet that includes Andrew Marlin, Christian Sedelmyer, and Clint Mullican. Another interview says West’s music comes from “spatial thinking” and that he makes arrangements by considering how space feels.
