For the last few years I've been quietly working long distance with a certain Mr Jeffrey Kinart -- Musician, Hollywood Screen Writer and Music Supervisor -- on a project together called FRIED SMILING. We collaborate on songs by swapping files long distance via email. The music is essentially in the Ambient or Soundtrack Genre, and was created with both of those purposes in mind. There are other concepts being thrown around as well; an App is in the works featuring our music with a new, cutting-edge CG visualizer, for example. We shoot ideas at each other frequently, and at this point we've made a pretty large body of work in a relatively short time. Hopefully, some of it will actually get used in movies or series! Things in Hollywood move incredibly slowly, so I tend not to pay attention.

Anyway, sometimes I've sent Jeff something that he says he thinks is actually already finished--that there is either no room for him to add something or that he can't think of a way to add to it without creating clutter. Most of the songs in this collection are from this set, and I appreciate Jeff for being cool with me going ahead and releasing them here. Suffice it to say this album could sorta be considered a FRIED SMILING teaser... "Rain" I've had sitting around without a place to put it. "Prepper" wound up being a TEST APES song, but this is the original version of it.

All of them have this 'vibe' that put them together for me -- definitely influenced by my recent move to Washington state. Its Music for lousy weather. Winters here are a bit like living in a Horror Movie; chilly, clammy, overcast... I've also had a long-standing desire to make an Ambient album, ala Brian Eno, without sounding like I just want to be Brian Eno or something-pfffft. So, my thanks goes out to both he and Jeff for their inspiration.

That said, here's COUCHLOCK...
