"I just passed
a swoony time on earth. I did not dig
that there was more"
-- Charles Olson

saying this album was composed in one day is a great lie. and yet, very little has been heard or previewed before today and everything bearing upon it's current incarnation stands transformed by a hard 12 hours or so of hammering and bellowing the forge, those two contrary actions, the yield of which is what passes as a sign here, and what remains on the heap to be heard and taken in by one's own meaning. apex of the eccentric mood of this year of perplexity, angst, heightening. oddly enough, achievements in themselves, joys even.

the sound of us stretches back here at least until 2017 in a few cases. when I say "us", I mean, the sounds were in my care and they did not find place in publications anywhere else until now. some of the sounds come from Jacek Zielinski (tracks 1, 5, 8) and Filippo Panichi (Hong Kong Eyes).

there are sources in Creative Commons that I should find and provide attribution for in in the coming days as I've drawn on interviews and radio transmissions captured on the fly over the past year and a half that are elusive to my memory at the moment but not anonymous. Hang in there, my teams of neurons bees working on that. field recordings come from bulgaria, berlin, krakow and poznan. i play guitars, piano, electronic devices and percussion on site and in the studio (which can be the stairwell or the attic as the case may be).

The album cover was snatched from a post by Eric Wong. Apparently the wash-down of the protest slogan from the walls in Hong Kong.
