about

This autobiographical, psychedelic bedroom-operetta in two parts, was first composed to 4-track cassette in the basement of the Harrison Building, downtown Oakland in 2005. The tape recording process was augmented where possible by free, pirated, and open source computer software, as dictated by a budget of $0. Some pieces were composed with the assistance of home-brewed "artificially-sentient" computer programs. These formless robots were also used to generate MIDI data, which was fed into keyboard instruments, and thusly are to be counted as performers on this record.

Some of this material was lightly circulated in 2007 as "Mother's Maiden Name Was Honey." Additional material was recorded in 2008 to refine the thematic content and story. The project suffered multiple technology related setbacks, including three major mechanical hard drive failures, which necessitated, most recently, the painstaking process of reconstructing each song from the original un-synchronized sound files... and re-recording where necessary.
