Track 1 is just a typical 12-bar blues with a C Jam Blues inspired melody. Track 2 is synth noise for some silly modal assignment. Track 3 is a version of Hedonist Quiz from She Was A Coal Fire… that I turned in (with some extra percussion) for a polyrhythm assignment. Tracks 4 and 5 were made for some sort of open-ended assignment. Track 6, which features my brother Joey playing a second guitar, was my submission for a hocketing assignment. Track 7 was a final project for a class on experimental composition. Track 8 was recorded much later than the others and was performed in response to my girlfriend, Valentina’s assignment in a music class to “respond” to a studied composition, for which she chose “All Blues” by Miles Davis. I played my SP-404 and she played the trumpet.
