NO THANKS (nononono cat tribute)

I had always wanted to make a solo marimba CD for the simple reason that I love the sound of the instrument.
I wanted to make an album that one “felt” rather than actively listened to; To create music that you would not notice until it was no longer playing.
To answer both these needs was a challenge, as I wanted to showcase the sound of the instrument, not my ability to play the instrument.  I needed to remove my ego from the creative process.  My ego would say to me, “play fast and do hard things so everyone will know you are a “good” musician”. My ego is unfortunately rather strong so I needed a way to mitigate the power of the ego so as to attain my creative goals. 
I would have to alter my mental state.
To attain this I decided to perform all the original tracks for the album while in a state of extreme tiredness. (Too tired to consider whether I was playing well or not).  I set up all the recording gear; record enabled the DAT player, stayed up all night, and in the morning, entered the recording studio, hit the record button and played the marimba until I could no longer stand up. (4-5 hours/session)  I did this 2 consecutive nights.  The process was horrible, I felt like crap the entire time I was playing, but the tracking was what I was looking for and think it is the purest, honest playing I have ever done, and the resulting album succeeded far beyond my imagination.
