about

A collection of unnecessarily long instrumentals for people who like that sort of thing, mixed with shorter, radio-friendly tracks including the single "Pickle Park Polka".

Many of the tracks were created by converting graphic files to sound blips in Audacity, then stretching the audio from which riffs were isolated and looped. This is the album where I stopped sequencing pre-written solos and began improvising on an M-Audio Keyrig49.

Two incidents occurred shortly after the release. The great Keith Emerson died by suicide and my laptop broke down, leading to my library computer phase. Rumors of a curse involving Emerson's offense at my keyboard skills remain unsubstantiated.

about

J. M. Smig Salem, Massachusetts

The musical equivalent of the guy at the party who offends everyone by mooning the camera (but guess what everyone does to the camera minutes later), Smig is the Witch City's composer laureate (not a difficult achievement, in all honesty).

"[C]ontemporary music for the bizarre at heart...[His] electronica and classical works operate in a style unlike any other."
(Electronic Musician newsletter)
