about

This music is all made with an acoustic guitar.

I have to remind myself of that as once the process is done, when listening back, I can sometimes get lost (pleasantly) in the mix.

The process is: I often wake up with a musical idea in mind. I will take note of this in the morning before I forget it. Later I'll sit down with my guitar and elaborate and record the various parts, and later at night I'll do a live mix of these parts into a finished version of the idea. I like the spontaneity of it all -- at each step. It keeps the music fresh, even for me.

I take great lengths to arrange this music in an album-like order, as in: it should make a kind of sense when listened to in sequence. As I'm getting a little longer in album length for Volume III, there are even two "sides" here: tracks 1-4 and tracks 5-8.

For the artwork, I'm continuing to pull out still images from an animated visual feedback system that I've been working on. I was hoping to find imagery that looks like it's coming from somewhere else -- no matter where you're from.

And, in keeping with the theme of radio astronomy, as I was wrapping up this collection and thinking of names, news in the field of reported that a new type of astronomical event had been noticed lately. Per Wikipedia, at least four observations had been made as of June 26, 2020, of:

.. A very large unexplained astronomical object that, at radio wavelengths, is highly circular and brighter along its edges.

"Circles" it is!

I hope that you enjoy the various radio bursts documented here. May you use this music to help to propel yourself forward.
