Album Description

In late March of 2025, I found myself with a Tuesday off and a strong need to get out and see the world. Baseline Road, which runs along the latitude of 40°N from Boulder to the eastern plains of Colorado, seemed like an excellent quick road trip. So I took a drive, made some notes, and decided to make this musical record of the trip. I programmed the basslines (pun intended) to mimic the road, then added drums to move us along. Then I sketched the landscape and architecture with keys and guitars. A couple of friends joined to play their impressions of sections. Finally, I followed the trail one more time, improvising the journey in sound. The end result is this album, which can be a tale of the road or a soundtrack to your own drive.

So give it a listen, join me on this ride, and thanks for listening.

-Vic
