over the course of September-Decemebr of 2008, we recorded 5 hours worth of improvisations to 4-track cassette and a breaking Navy reel-to-reel 1/4" tape recorder. We dumped into digital, sorted through everything and picked only what we loved, then chopped, mixed, produced, tweaked and arranged it into a finished album, consisting of 18 pieces.
