about

The dispatch was born over the months straddling the 2020 US election. The sense of finesse and "finishedness" in these pieces (except for "Everything is Falling") is something of a counter to the slipshod feel of the country in this moment of transition during a pandemic and general societal unease.

"(Conspiracy!)" is an attempt to experience the insidious zeal one must feel when a whacko theory rings true. It is a whispered "Yes!" that is louder than a shout.

"Everything is Falling" described the situation in which the original guitar track was born. A tug on the guitar cable pulled the USB interface off its little table, which then fell in the headphone cord, yanking my headphones off and knocking my glasses to the floor. I then stumbled into the music stand where my notes and a half a beer joined the salad of failure on the floor. The addition of the Rhodes in this is like fondly remembering a moment of real torment.

"Robot Pit Stop" started as an exercise in playing to a metronome but I really liked the tune and, soon, even liked the metronome. I put a phaser on the click to give it a little wobble.

"Dream Pop Greeting for the Utah Monolith" is the best little piece of music I've done in a while, exploring some possibilities on the Rhodes. Just as I finished typing the title, I got a text from my sister in Utah saying the monolith was already gone. If I were an alien, I'd take back my monolith as well.
