written and developed over the course of the last year or so; using performances and art exhibits to test ideas... many different versions have come and gone... it came became time to record. i demo'd several versions to myself, recorded on my phone or 4-track tape recorder, and various other things, but nothing was really solidifying. ...

...i knew i wanted to record this one in one take, completely live in the basement or maybe at a small venue, so i didnt really need multiple versions, but since i was so undecided about some of the arrangements i decided to try to multi-track it

computer #2 crapped out. i recorded EP5 and EP6 on this one, fired up computer#1, worked day one of tracking - crapped day two. i recorded EP1-4 on this one

Fourth Side 05:46
i ultimately decided to record in a studio and settled on right heel in colorado springs because of the large open studio space, adams love for noisy music and experimenting, the fact that he and alex are in a couple of bands together and alexs's stuff is already at the studio

Fifth Side 04:57
i had been wanting to make a record with nutso drums and guitar for a long time, especially after spending several months not really making progress, i wanted to be done with this thing my first choice and good friend alex koshak agreed to do it day of recording, i made a ten minute demo in the studio and we spent several minutes discussing the dynamics i wanted to go for with adam and alex, while alex took notes on a markerboard we then retreated to the studio and performed this whole thing

Sixth Side 07:58
so, it was about this time i realized we had run thru the entire composition i had written. leaving my pedals on and feeding-back, i walked into the control room to tell adam that we might be done but to keep recording cos i wanted to see how kosh was doing - still in the studio making noise. I went back into to the studio and he had some more in him, so we improvised a mostly chill ending

so much to say abut making this, ill just say not-too-much more (most-everything i want to say is either recorded or in the "lyrics"...) but a special thanks to alex koshak without whom this thing would really not have been possible. thanks for indulging me for a day and for not only climbing inside my head but exploding out the other side
