I've started tentatively experimenting with Ableton - the rhythm was done with that program, but the rest was my usual sound collagey approach to ACID. And the title came from a leftover piece of cardboard packaging.

The rhythm track is that of "Parts Below" slowed down, thus continuing my pet themes of recycling material within an album and anagram song titles. Fun fact: This is the only track on the album that isn't 120 bpm.

This is "Blue Sun (Rise)" played backwards. Logically, it should have come after "Blue Sun" itself, but it flowed better here.

A friend posted a picture of himself in front of an abandoned mental hospital, and someone jokingly asked if it was his new house. He responded that the only things that live there were asbestos and ghosts.

Another track with an Ableton beat. Yes, the title is a gratuitous science fiction reference.

I experimented with slowing down individual parts of "Blue Sun" and realized it made a nice intro/segue.

I really was thinking about small, bashful fish when I wrote this, and you can sort of tell.

Probably my personal favorite track on the EP - there's sort of a dub-ish flavor to it. The main rhythm loop was made on Ableton, then subsequently chopped up a bit on ACID because I still find that easier to work with.

Watchout4snakes has a "sentence generator" that I find a fascinating source of nonsense - for these "lyrics" I just refreshed it several times, then organized the sentences into questions and answers.
