about

NOTE: This is not a collection of "songs", but a live improvisation. Everything I make from sales of this release will go toward funding my next full album (a more typical-of-me collection of songs). Thanks!

This performance was part of Memphis Concrete, a two-day experimental and electronic music festival in Memphis, TN. Nothing was pre-composed or pre-arranged. This piece was completely improvised on the spot using a variety of instruments, toys, and prepared tapes.
