These are tracks that I recorded and produced over the last two or so years.  Consider this more of a retrospective than an album per se (hence the length), although I've taken care to sequence the tracks as an album, and mastered them with an ear towards over-all unity (difficult with tracks as disparate as these!).  My rationale in sharing these is twofold: firstly, its always nice to share one's creations with others (at least for the creator!). Secondly, keeping these to myself (and not wrapping them up, in some cases) was impeding my ability to move forward into new material.

The songs range from catchy musique concrète to atmospheric drone, with the occasional foray into more melodic material (dangerous terrain for someone whose only musical training is as a drummer!). If you don't like the first thing you hear, keep listening - there is bound to be something you find more appealing.  I am grateful for whatever listening you might be willing to endure/enjoy.

Thanks to Raven Glidden for smashing things around in the loading dock and control room - his violent contributions can be found in the tracks "Loading Dork" and "Control Room" (imagine that). Thanks to Nick Hughes for lending his skillful ears and for his patriotic moral support. To Sarah, RJ, Scott Scott, Dave, Justin, my family and many others (you know who you are), as well as the aforementioned, Raven and Nick - thank you for everything, always.  You might not enjoy this material or understand why I am compelled to make it, but you are in it, woven into its perspective and content, as arcane and obscure as that may be at times.

All tracks recorded, mixed and mastered by me between September 2009 and this day, in late November of 2011. Photo-credit and fancy, painstaking graphic design: me.
