Circuit Tree

Suzie and Fred

this is about a couple who are at odds with each other because of their goals, could also be viewed as a guy who wants his partner to commit suicide with him?

i usually play this on guitar... (more)

Mercury Blues

electronic nutsiness made in reason and then imported into cubase, one of my favorites, incidentally

Happy Little Song

I literally pulled this out of my ass in a few minutes. The lyrics just poured out of me once i decided to sing about myself. Very autobiographical, also inspired by polka music. i love polka music!

Neptune Blues

this one goes way ambient in the 2nd half, brian eno-ish, i wanted to experiment with doing a track with no drums

Lost My Way

this was one of the hardest to do, the 2nd half was great, but i hated the first half and was stressing with getting it to gel. so i scrapped it completely and started over. i think it was a wise decision.

Man-Made Trash Floating in Orbit

didn't know what to call this track, but once i came up with a title, it wrote itself! i heard on npr about how all this junk of ours is making outerspace around Earth a very dangerous place to be. this track is trying to reflect that danger.

Folked Up

that is not a sample you hear in the background, it is the dryer going. leave it in? okay, sure i'll leave it in. it's these artistic decisions we're all forced to make.

Of A Time

another one i always play on the guitar, inspired by Nick Drake's stuff; half way through this song goes into unknown guitar improvisational territory, where i just played over my own stuff after looping it
