These are songs culled from these three 'triple albums' that I made and gave to my friends way back in 2001 and 2002. The first was called Nile Yessum/Picknum Deduns/Pickenham Dedonshire; the second was Brother Had A Birthday/Live At Sam's/The Glad Fact Testimonial; the third was Three Brown Finches/Obscure Wisdom EP/Seven Songs That Owe A Lot To Zep III.

It's true what Steve said, that these songs come from the "edges and the middles" of my creativity. No two on this CD sound remotely alike. Lots of performances of me trying to leave my body, exerting myself and expending lots of energy, climbing up walls, etc. The only ambient music I've made so far, the only a cappella recordings I've made so far, the only funk I've made, the only Latin jazz I've made, the only songs I've written about Sheryl Crow: they're on here. Enjoy.
Love, Dave
