11.02.06All songs were written and recorded in a 24 hour period.
This album explores how simple song structures are created and recorded. These songs are based on 'melodies' or 'tunes' that I have been developing in my head for the past few years.

Without any prior song writing experience I wrote and recorded a 13 song album using only one microphone, a computer and an old beat up classical guitar. The idea was to understand the process of song writing - lyrics, chords and melodies.
All complicated arrangements were purposely striped from this experience. I understand it as giving power back to the amateur. All songs should be kept as simple as possible. NO manipulations. NO trickery. NO cleverness. NO gimmicks. ALL LEFT RAW!!!
All songs/recordings were ONE TAKE ONLY.
I was very interested in my ability to relinquish my ego and awareness of self-critique to the forces of immediatism and immediate action. It also proved useful in understanding distortions in the creative process. By trying to replicate some type of idealized cultural state, distortions in the outcome were inevitable yielding to my own personal subjectivities through the conscious replication processes.
