Album Description

With the 10th anniversary of Curious Automata coming up in March of this year (2023), I think it's time to clear out the archives a bit. This is a collection of misfits, whose tone didn't match the projects for which they were intended. "Broken Tree" was improvised after my favorite shade tree was split in a late spring storm in 2017. It was previously released as a rough cut for my Bandcamp subscribers but it's much prettier and has been edited for time here. I think it still captures my mood as I waited to see if the tree survived, though. Tracks 2-12 were all recorded during the two sessions for 2018's "We Were". Those were during the end of my marriage, so they were a bit of an art therapy project as I went through a divorce. I wrote a list of things to remember, then improvised around each idea. For the original album, I decided to lean toward the positive tracks, so the remaining ones here have a bit darker tilt. Also, in the spirit of moving on, all the tracks on this album are released under a Creative Commons Attribution so anyone can use them as they see fit. I hope you enjoy these moody leftovers, and thanks for listening. -Vic
