When i started working on this project i wanted to create two separate albums, one with smoked jazzy feeling with emphasis on beats and second one with only textures,a piano and pads. At that time i was performing a lot with this sort of music in galleries, art events and museums. In my live show performance i used to combine elements from both albums, i liked the way it sounded and slowly i got the notion that i can fuse all the sounds and ideas into one album.

I tried to use the same working techniques for all the tracks in the album, most of them were created on a computer, some beats and stabs that were created on an old analog sampler. Most of the work effort was to edit the raw material i had and than arrange in on my computer.

All composition deal with mistakes, non-perfect things and flaws. I think that sometimes when dealt in the right way a mistake or a flaw can be a beautiful thing, like a broken CRT monitor that still sends a signal. I got my inspiration from day to day things like : walking at night, sounds of machines working and office ambiance at night.

During the process of making the album i lost all my hard drive data and all the projects i already created for the album were deleted. I never backup my work, my only luck was to find a DVD with some of the projects thrown somewhere around my studio (i burned one DVD to test the new burner).
