about

Nod to Johnny Mercer with the title.

Track was crafted entirely out of source audio, which was captured via one of those YouTube to MP3 programs. Chopped up in Sound Forge. Played around with in Paulstretch. Layered and mixed in Acid Pro.

When I was in elementary school I used to go with my dad to the old Science Center in Des Moines where the Astronomy Club met. That's where I saw my first VCR in the mid 70's, likely showing a videotape of something involving Pioneer 10. I would watch the presentation on the TV screen, usually involving those nifty NASA animations, and then took off for the "dumb terminal" computers when the adults starting talking. I'd play hi-lo, 21, and make the computer say "Yes Or No Please". You could say I was more into the computers.

I make way too much electronic music. Mostly ambient, some beat-driven.
