January 11th, 2009
In the wake of a whirlwind summer I took to the tide pools of my soul and reveled once more in the world of experimental noize.
Booking only a few shows and private events in 2009, I immersed myself in the creative process through painting, mixed media art and instrumental noize sessions, often times engaging all of these activities simultaneously as a driving force of creativity.
Textures was a beacon in the space between. The process was vivid with pieces rarely surfacing for air. Lyrics for what would become the opening track of the behemoth, Will-o’-the-Wisp, were arriving while still coloring outside of the lines on psychedelic crossover instrumentals.
Some of those new songs were included when I was giving away copies of the compilation, 111:111.
