about

Many young aspiring guitar players in modern times have used effects pedals of a singular and plural nature to get the sounds they’re looking for. In 1999 and 2000, I was using a computer with a modest sound card to attempt to get the sounds I wanted. Perhaps a forerunner to modern digital setups of today, I was using the free software that came with the sound card to make the guitar sound the way I wanted to.

DestabiliZation, in one sense, was my being able to communicate in ways I’d never been able to communicate, musically. All of these tracks were improvised using software and a cheap guitar. There are some exceptions such as Jovian, which I remember to have been improvised on a cheap four-track in a room full of cigarette smoke. How times change.

This is less of a full-on ambient album than it is a 20-year-old fiddling with a guitar and a computer, but of all my music it fits with the ambient stuff more. It certainly isn't music for the masses. But I cam't find anything remotely like this record since 2000.
