The album is a compilation of music i call "layered improvizations". Mainly it's a way of playing in a band, when you have none. Just improvising one layer of sound and then, while listening to it, playing the other one on top. So, structurally it's very simple and basic, while recording takes lots of time untill i get to play accordingly/in tact with the other "player". So, in fact, the result is just a chosen piece (with some after recording mastering) from the long pieces of improvised sound tracks. And, as i am not too good a player, it has a feeling of freshness and rawness. Because of that first track is 'morning birds' - symbol of brand new start and freedom.

Well, i'v been making noise since quite early in my teens. As to that it's been not just sounds - writing and painting as well. So, in a way, music is also inspired by experiences of other activities, mainly painting - which gave me an idea of "layering" in a sense as i now understand it. I never played in any festivals, just local underground parties, and at my home - lullabies for friends who drop bye.
