about

This track was made entirely from an accident. I had borrowed an electric guitar from a buddy of mine. Of course, I was hopeless at playing it, but I noticed a particularly sweet feedback sound when I held it close to the speaker (I thought I invented video feedback too). I recorded parts of it, played it back into the room, rerecording it with new layers, then repeating. I shared it with a friend of mine who sort of laughed at it. I was quite easily discouraged in those days, so I put it in a shoebox under my bed for almost ten years. Then one day another friend from BLR records heard it, he liked it so much he immediately put it out on his label. Probably the one record I've made that people still ask me the most about today. I originally intended it to be used as a meditative soundtrack you would listen to with a 'Walkman' when you visited the Rothko Chapel in Houston. To this day I don't think I've ever done it. I wonder if anybody has?
