about

Recorded on site in the Mojave desert with minimal gear - one amp, one guitar, one microphone, one eight track recorder. All effects courtesy what was onboard the Boss Katana or the Zoom eight track recorder - no outboard gear, synths, or pedals used.

A ritual record as much as a musical one, to commemorate the anniversary of the passing beyond this mortal coil of my cousin Jack Whitesides Parsons and the monumental Work he did in that desert both mundane and magical.

For the one I have been pledged to for twenty-three years now, and forever.
