Each track of this collection incorporates multiple random aspects, whether it is a random sequence of pre-chosen notes, randomly generated notes, random modulation, random noise, or all of the above, with varying levels of human performance, guidance, composition, or “control.” Each track was also performed improvisationally and recorded live, creating its own aspect of randomness that cannot be exactly duplicated.
Special thanks to the following people who directly or indirectly contributed to the creation of this collection. I could not have done this without you.
Julian Levitt for being my dancing star and for teaching me so many invaluable lessons.
Michelle Levitt for your love and understanding.
Heath Aldrich for your endless support, feedback, and for lending me your Strega (again).
Steven Senger and Jonny Pez for your feedback and our modular support group.
Thanks to the following people who helped me acquire gear used in these recordings. You all went out of your way to accommodate me when you didn’t have to, and are all very much appreciated.
