Notes

"This week’s track is a lovely mess of pretty synths and malfunctioning drums. I sent it to a label once and they told me to “quantize it”. Sometimes my intention is not so clear, maybe. Anyhow, my attraction to this track has not ceased at all since I made it, but I never really found a good place on a release for it. It has been sitting, lonely and isolated, since 2006. I made it on a little retreat to a friend’s cabin in the mountains – we stayed for several days making music and art, wandering, drinking, skipping along down woody material – things one does the mountains. I also recall a rather wild housecat waking us up by snatching a bird out of the air and bringing it inside squaking and squeeking squicking and squalling and… some of the most bizarre sounds I’ve ever heard a creature make. Perhaps it inspired this bizarre little piece which I now present. Week three of fifty-two. Hope you’ll stop by again next week for another track."

Released as part 2 of the artist's "Year of Ten" weekly series.
