GoodChaos by Richard F. Jackson (fka JacksorJacksor)

This record is a celebration of happy accidents and embracing the potential for failure.

It is also a celebration of live music and the joy of music making, together.

The songs are some of the most simple that I’ve ever written – I deliberately let myself just “write” without trying to overcomplicate anything.

The instrumentation was a complete gamble. I messaged a bunch of my friends to see who was around and then orchestrated it based on availability. Slowly the shape of the ten-piece ensemble formed, with the joyous presence of three flutes and three saxophones. This is also the record I’ve played the least on, allowing my own guitar parts can sit back and enjoy the view.

One Saturday we all gathered in MusicBox Studios, under the expert eyes and ears of Ed Truckell at the desk. A few hours later and the three tracks were recorded – and most importantly, it was great fun to do. There was also pizza and donuts.

This record is about the pleasure of not knowing, the stories of attempts made and the growth from failure.
