Fitz Hartwig

Oxherding is the meditative electronic music project of St. Louis native Fitz Hartwig. His work focuses on creating long-form tonal explorations using a laptop, synthesizers, and field recordings. 2021 will see the release of both a collaborative work with guitarist Lake Mary and a full-length solo LP. Fitz also operates Distant Bloom, a label dedicated to cassette and digital editions of contemplative music. Releasing music from both St. Louis artists and the broader experimental music community, tapes are released in limited editions between 50 and 100 copies. For each cassette release, a portion of label proceeds are donated to an organization of the artist’s choice, and one ton of carbon emissions is offset through Gold Standard certified projects.
