about

This EP started in 2016 as a tribute to one of my favorite people in the world. An artist and all around silly billy who taught me patience, diversity in art, and the not so subtle art of not giving a eff. But depression and self-doubt is a heck of a thing, as only the first track was completed. Cut to 8 years later - I was able to finally finish this project lickety split and even throw in a bonus track. Fun fact - that first track had to be reconstructed due to all original files (AND SAMPLES) being deleted from the ravages of Computer Rot.

About the music: All the sounds you hear (apart from the vocals from Zombie #2 and the "bag of cans dropped from my 3rd floor apartment at the end of V'Toria III) were culled from audio chips originating from Apple II computers, Commodore 64, Nintendo NES, and GameBoy. They were all programmed into loops or manually composed through MIDI keyboards. It was a lot of fun to both recreate sounds I grew up with but also keep it completely original. I hope you all enjoy. Especially you, Swims - my mostly sometimes muse.
