This is one of those pieces I think of as "doodles" - just tiny little ambient snippets.

I was sort of inspired by Suicide here... And like a lot of times I try to imitate a certain artist, I ended up with something that doesn't really sound like them at all. The section where the percussion gets kind of glitchy was originally the…

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'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.

I started out with the sounds you hear in the beginning, and knew I wanted to make them the basis of something spacy.

This was made at the absolute last minute, but I like it's simple, ambient qualities.

About half of these lyrics were written a year or two ago and left unfinished - They were going to be part of a rap album/EP, which I may still make later.

All of the sounds on this song come from a soda can.

One of the keyboard sounds here is actually a heavily manipulated recording of me dialing my cellphone. I also had some fun with strange mouth noises ala my side project AwESOME MOVIE SOUND NOISES!!!.

There's a tennis court that's officially named this in my neighborhood park. I wanted to write lyrics for this song, but couldn't think of any - I may go back and re-use it as a rap beat.

This isn't actually a minuet... that's what's so stealthy about it. Okay, actually, "Stealth Minuet" is an anagram for "The Last Minute", because I wrote it at the last minute and because it's about a minute long and is the final track.

"Windblown cellophane" is part of the deliberately unintelligible chant bit of "Operation Enduring Freedom Tennis Court", so maybe I should have used this title for that song instead.

I sort of wanted to call a band Department Of Meteors, but it became a song title instead.

Sometimes I pretend that my songs are themes for non-existent horror b-movies.

For whatever reason, pitch-shifting kazoo and running it through a lot of reverb is just fun for me. Working title: "Cirkus".
