about

These soundscapes were recorded during March 2006 in San Marcos, Texas at a quiet little house on Bluebonnet, where I was sure I was disturbing the neighbors if not small animals with these strange sounds. This was also a way for me to voice my displeasure at something in the public realm via ambient music, something I have a reputation for doing in the rock stuff.

2006 certainly had issues, and on my mind were the laws made after World War II which defined the treatment of prisoners of war. It’s well documented as being the law of the land. It was disappointing to me that a tribe of people were hellbent on defying the traditions of something they simultaneously claimed to give undying value to. They rescinded the War Crimes Act and went on their way, with warm crimes.

And people look back at those times now with jealousy.
