about

This album is one of the many spurred on by the February RPM Challenge and here in 2023, I had just gotten a fretless band. I have played banjo for a while now but fretless is different so I set to learning it. As February rolled around I decided that for my project I would use all this banjo playing to create loops on which I would base my songs for the album. I originally started playing it straight but soon found it easiest to just record casually on the banjo, and then build the song around that rather than the other way around. The result is a bit tentative and the tempos wander pretty freely. I found a way to make it flow using arpeggiators and patterns eventually while at the same time I tried to keep it pretty varied and organic. I think some of this came out pretty interesting and sort of patched-together so the title came from that overall vibe.
