"Attack of the Lonley Mind" is a concept album by Derek Doublin where almost every sound recorded was generated by a guitar.  With the exception of the harmonicas heard towards the end of "Click and a Clack" and the lone cello on "The Reason", every instrument was either created by an electrical or acoustical guitar. An Italia Mondial electric guitar was outfitted with a midi pickup to control various software instruments throughout the album, including drums, wind instruments and pianos. Imperfections in the playing were rarely corrected in post resulting in an odd mixture of unrealistic software instruments, controlled manually through vibrating strings and mixed with the spontaneity of human performance. An Alvarez nylon string guitar and a Taylor steel string were used as is.  A Japanese Fender Telecaster was also used as is.

Following the record breaking success of his full length album "Attack fo the Lonely Mind" (I think 15 copies of the album were given away), Derek hammered out a quick E.P. featuring tracks that did not make the cut on the full album.  The track "Old Wood Summer Sins" features Ginger Wildheart's leading lady, Victoria Liedtke, of the world famous band "Hey Hello".
