In The Branches is Shane Cotee's ambient guitar music project. Most ITB songs are created live and fully improvised, and most are recorded in a single take. Some ITB songs also utilize synthesizers, voices, flutes, field recordings, and various sound design experiments.

In The Branches and the related synth-based project Quiet Sector both focus on texture, atmosphere, and a sense of spacious nostalgia. There are no strict tempos or click tracks in the studio for these recordings. Headphones are recommended for the most immersive stereo experience.
