about

Morning Minutes is a project I've been working on for several years. Each track was made in a day, usually in less than an hour. The impetus behind the project is both therapeutic–the idea to make a short track each day without thinking about it too much–and practical–I enjoy listening to my own music, especially while driving, and these short tape pieces proved to be excellent driving music. Don't listen for too much to happen. But it's not ambient. Good for driving, cleaning, especially driving. I didn't want to compose. The composition was subconscious. The tracks are arranged in the order they were made. I subconsciously composed the flow. The twenty tracks on this album were selected from over 130 tracks. All tracks were made on a Tascam 464 four-track. Other instruments used: Juno 60, electric guitar, bass, and turntable. No computers were used. All loops are made in real time by placing a guitar slide in front of the turntable arm to make a skipping loop. I had a reverb pedal and a distortion pedal as well. And sometimes delay and fuzz and one other effect. I wrote three pages of words each day before making the tracks. I also took a screen shot of the Rockaway surf cam every day after making each track. I would usually listen to these tracks on the drive out to Rockaway to go surfing. I really enjoy listening to these tracks. I hope you enjoy them too.
