All tracks, with the exception of "Haptic Feedback", were recorded in closets. The sound was deadened with whatever was available. The album is mostly ambient, but doesn't really fit in as background music and lends itself to those who can endure or appreciate noise. I believe that it sounds best at higher volume so that it can engulf the listener.A sheepish thanks to the neighbors who seemingly tolerated the hours of low rumble, alien sounds, and awkward encounters it took to make this album. I couldn't have made most of these songs without a guitar and two or three accompanying choice effects from chase bliss, the Acid Cat, cascading 4-track recorders, and a Korg Stage Echo, as well as my beloved Benson Vinny head/cab. Strangely, my wayward and eternally absent microKorg XL taught me how to make music with a guitar and a 1-second loop, as well as how to leave things alone so they become saturated and soft. Tape machines now rule my world.
A very special thanks to the people I love in my life, especially Lindsey and Audrey who continue to suffer through my incessant noisiness. This album would also not have been possible without the deep impression provided by all the interesting, experimental, and noisy music of the late 2000's and early 2010's. Randy Randall was a particularly huge influence. Everything Bradford Cox touches turns to gold. Merzbow's Pulse Demon, Boredoms' Vision Creation Newsun and Super ae, and OOIOO's Feather Float also changed my life in those years. Yves Tumor and Arca showed me that anything is possible. And where would I be without Ryuichi Sakamoto?
A massive thank you to Yann Novak for taking a chance on me and being as patient, kind, and encouraging as anyone can be throughout the process.
