about

all guitar tracks were recorded on cassette between 2016-17 improvisationally/one take with a 1976 Conn F-9 acoustic guitar and Panasonic RQ-2103 tape recorder. Guitar parts were recorded in "The Archives" and another bedroom in Pittsburgh, PA.

field recordings were captured in the Allegheny Cemetery in 2019-20. bass, drums, and trombone recorded on a 4-track Tascam Porta 02 at that same time in a Garfield basement.

("raymond" and "alan's slacks" were recorded during the construction of a camp in Coolspring, PA with a smaller, handheld Panasonic tape recorder.)

*dedicated to the late, great ceo of the creech club, Eli McCloskey, who inspired some of these pieces after a winter walk through north park with him, Dan Hartman and his dog. Most of these guitar parts were recorded while roommates right before and after his transmission to the next cosmic plane.

all digital and tape proceeds will go to the Bukit Bail Fund to financially assist those wrongfully arrested in their fight to end racial injustice and police brutality.
