For some of the pieces I really wanted a rough-cut sound to them so for 'No Reason' I recorded the whole track from my laptop speakers, There are some sounds that you can't get from using good gear. Even though I have the access to good quality equipment, there were sounds that I couldn't achieve using hi quality mics and pre-amps.
For the track 'The Uncertain Eric Friston' I really overworked the limiter for a different sound of the track, you're not supposed to clearly hear every part, it's about the effect and aim that the piece gives.
This album isn't an album of tracks and songs, it's an art experience, I'm welcoming you into my world where the things around me inspire me so much. So obviously that's going to be translated into my music. Some parts are quite hard to listen to, think of this not as I've carelessly put it together or I haven't thought about what sounds to use, but more of how the music makes you feel, if it fills you with disgust and anger then that's fine. If you feel delighted and elated when listening to it, then that's great too.
I didn't really make this album for a target audience or a specific theme, this is what the ramblings of myself are translated to, this crazy/experimental album, enjoy.
