Session Info:

  • All songs were recorded in Boulder, Colorado (at 3485 Hayden Pl. in the front bedroom) between February and December 2002.
  • All songs were recorded using a Boss BR-8 (8-track) digital recorder.
  • Half of these songs have vocals, half are instrumental.
  • I used a SuperCollider recording programmed by my friend John Ciolek as the basis for the track "Karma Factory". I improvised a guitar solo over the top of the trippy synth sounds. Afterwards, I added bass as an after-thought and was surprised by how good the results came out. So, one could say I added the harmony (via the way of bass notes) after everything else was recorded... kind of a strange approach to take, but it worked.

Players:

Gabriel Perry - Acoustic, lap steel, bass, and electric guitars, sound effects, drum programming and vocals.
