about

this album was created during the first seven months of a phd program. it is informed by all things orange and the wind sun sparkle shine of great lake ontario through an accompaniment of book stacks most loreful. cherry trees and cookin green. the cycle stretches forth. many adherents were concocted standing at the front of class, conducting a weekly writing exercise with first-year students about prudent self-publication. compact discs lent by the library etched themselves sonically, if not for their matter elsewise. and of course, to the OGs & teachers sustaining sured influential guidance, my gratitude.

structure was a motif in mind throughout the production process. many songs share a studied skeletal structure canvassed in dualism for the front-of-class-phone-typed freestyles to reside once arrived again at my residence to record. haste is unkind, but most representative of approach. trust that no coach could con the kinda plains i'm on, sprinter speak in marathon.
