about

I would like to tell you about how I made this album:

This album was recorded in July 2020 on a cassette 8-track, filling three tapes. Everything on those tapes is on the album in the order it was recorded.

I wrote the songs as I was performing them. When I got stuck I would start over or punch in where I gave up. All overdubs were done in as few takes as possible before moving on to the next song.

I call it an "improv album."

I hope it can be of use to you.
