Open Notes by Karl J. Palouček

Originally released in a numbered lathe-cut edition of 25.

These recordings, made around 1992-1994, were sketches for pieces intended for the "Sail" album released [in 2014]. They were recorded primitively, with cheap microphones and a four-track cassette recorder, and are flawed like any rough tracks would be. But at the end of the process, listening back to them, I still like them — even the tracks that didn't make the final cut. So here they are.

Thanks: To Ed Palouček for violin on the original "Violoop"; to Damian Strigens for his always-impeccable design; and, as always, to Steph and Lex.

For Janet and Keith.
