about

When I’m feeling stressed, down, or in any way negative, I like to
go to the guitar & loop Lydian/”happy” chords until I feel better (works like a charm). I used to send a little demo of such playing
to friends when they would feel this way, & I always hated that there was so much tape noise on that original demo. When the idea of a solo album came up & things started to take shape, I knew I needed a breather or two...so this was constructed to be the polar opposite of “Pretzel Avalanche!” in every way: no tempo, drums, crazy orchestrations, harmonies, etc. Just a big ol’ guitar [with accentuating layers] & space. Lots of it.

The title comes from a MN State Fair Performance of mine a few years back. When the humidity & temp finally dropped while I was waiting for the shuttle, I looked up at the dusk sky...it evoked such a somber, weightless feeling. I tried to capture that here.

*Main guitar tuned EADGBD#
