about

This began as a collection of old "frankenkinder", orphan recording experiments that were either unfinished or homeless misfits. Some are in their original state, some got turned inside out or found new life. In the process of revisiting them I accidentally got sucked into another vortex of inspiration and had to record a bunch of new frankenkinder to keep the others company.

If there's a thread, I suppose that these pieces, in one sense or other, invoke some kind of trance-like space for me, that I can forget myself in, let my mind widen, weave, warp and wobble awhile.
