This album began as a personal recording challenge. Up until around this time, I had mainly used synthesizers, drum machines and samplers to create music - acoustic instruments were used like spices - sparingly. I decided to try and make some recordings using only natural instruments as sound sources, prohibiting myself from using any electronic sound source from being part of it. Sort of like unplugged... Before long, I was itching to put some synthesizers back into some of the songs. Torn, I decided to start working in whatever medium best fit the tune, regardless if it was synthetic or natural sounds. The rest of the album turned into an eclectic mix of acoustic tracks and electric tracks combined - an accidental masterpiece maybe? Regardless, this album turned out to be a lot of fun, both in creating it and the listening experience it has become.
