about

Everyone has had their own experience of the pandemic. Mine has been relatively safe and it has been relatively strange. I have been working alone every day in a 3000 sq ft space since March 13, 2020 and I have gone a little feral.

In the beginning when nobody knew what was going on and everything was locked down I kept going in: there was nobody else at my work and the transit was a way of marking time. I had the streets to myself and I could bike down the middle of the road. A week or so in I started singing out loud as I biked: little melodies and beats, hooks from imaginary tunes.

After a while I bought a cheap groovebox to turn these fragments into something. There is a PA at my work that I could use all the time with the space being empty, so I listened to mixes and danced and worked on tunes with it.

To finish these tracks I kept recording simple because it felt true to the whole scenario. Every sound on this record is straight from the groovebox [except for some claps because I can’t get good claps out of it, and a sampled break in the background of the title track].

Normally when I start a project I have a target or a concept but I didn’t think much about why I was working on these tracks during their creation. I was just following the process. It’s taken me a while to understand these tunes but if they have been my way to mark time, now seems like the right moment to share them.
