Working on some ideas for a last-minute set, remembered this stack of self-help tapes that a friend found on the curb and passed on to me.

Who can say they know the truth anymore ...
One of us gonna believe the truth from the other man
Well you look left while I look right
But we both can’t see anything cause its the middle of the night

Between the Palms
Intro:
I saw the fire… I saw the flame
You didn’t speak, but You called my name.
Between the palms, I saw You there;
Your glory burning through the air.
Verse 1:
You sat between the righteous trees,
Your fire wrapped…

A little lofi track that has a bit of summery feel to it.

Make Way
Verse 1:
Who is like the Lord, whose words are pure?
Who is like our King, whose love is sure?
Are you of the royal blood, His chosen line?
Through His Son we’re crowned, His glory now is mine.
Rejoice, for the King is here…

Executed entirely upon the Roland JX-3P if I recall correctly. The title refers to the three interwoven harmonic lines.

I wrote this while my mother was terminally ill. She had three stays at Sisters of Providence in Portland at the end of her life. Real-life events did not have the rosy outcome I was hoping for.

Perhaps inspired by a misremembered line of T.S. Eliot? I thought the line was, "I have measured out time in teaspoonfuls."
The proper line is "I have measured out my life in coffee spoons."
Oh well. I like my bungled line better.

I had something to say about this track, but I can't remember what it was. Never mind. ;)
Mostly executed upon the Roland JX-3P, if I recall rightly. Drums, choir pad, and piano courtesy of the Yamaha CS1x.

Imagine the scene, if you will. Four little square waves, afraid and cold out in the wild, begin calling to one another. Over millions of years, here collapsed into several minutes, their calls evolve.

I originally wanted to rap over this beat, and had the idea to improvise nonsense syllables just to figure out what the flow might be like. Ultimately I decided to keep it as it was, as it sounded like a hip hop song from another planet. Also…

The experiment here was to program a rhythm at a fairly slow tempo, then speed it up way too much.

Basically a drum-n-bass remix of my earlier song "Mike The Considerate Center For The Performing Arts".

Somewhat Residents-inspired. The rhythm is me breathing heavily and slapping my desk, run through a lot of reverb.

Originally my idea was to improvise half a conversation, then also improvise the other half as a different character - I ended up deciding just having half the conversation was funnier. Kinda unintentionally inspired by "Pollo Asado" by Ween.

For some of these tracks I was really thinking "what can I do to make this annoying to listen to?"

Man I was really into making these square-wave-sampling, dodgy bootleg 8-bit video game soundtrack pieces for a while.

I did a little "self-sampling" on this album - the cut up vocals were from my song "Nasty Asterisk". Later on I'd use the exact same backing track to cover "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mixalot, because I realized I'd inadvertently copied that bass-line.

I gave myself a rough guideline that most songs should be between 30 seconds and 2 minutes long - this was both because I didn't want the album to be much longer than 45 minutes and because I knew there were going to be certain days when I wouldn…

Just before I made Feb.ZOIG, I made a noisy, experimental EP (Noisy Exploding Brain) and a minimal ambient one (Jack Shetland EP), and I think because of this, this album ended up as a mix of both styles. This song is the first one that ended…
