about

the concept behind this album was to create songs based on live looping that flow effortlessly. the restraint was that every recorded loop must be in the same relative major/minor key. as a result, each track feeds into one another. you can play it top to bottom or on shuffle and you'll get a new experience each time.

the writing process started with recording nearly 6 hours worth of live loops between october and december of 2021. each loop was evaluated, cut down to the good bits, mangled, effected, and rearranged. some loops were discarded. some tracks are comprised of multiple loops that fit together nicely. other tracks are based only around a single loop. you might even hear parts of some loops in other tracks (to create that effortless flow).

it's been a lot of work, and i'm very happy with the outcome. i hope you enjoy it.
