Roger Wickham

The Eternal Now is a contemplative, meditative journey through ambient textures and jazz-inflected improvisation, where Chip Wickham treats the guitar not just as an instrument, but as a vessel for temporal exploration. Sparse yet precise, each note drifts like smoke in slow motion, creating spaces where silence and sound coexist in a fragile equilibrium. Wickham’s phrasing balances on the edge of tension and release, with subtle harmonic shifts that feel both ancient and futuristic—timelessness distilled into resonant strings.

This album doesn’t demand attention—it invites it, quietly coaxing the listener into introspection. There’s a spiritual patience here, a focus on process over spectacle, where even the subtlest melodic gesture carries weight. The Eternal Now is less a collection of songs than a series of living, breathing sonic meditations, a soundscape for reflection and presence.
