about

This project was created by kevin comarda, as a side project to
"the blackbelt band" (new orleans, LA). The goal was to see if sound, created/based on a series of loops and tapped-out beats, could be made into, and survive as, ambient folk/pop songs.
With enlisted help from close friends and family as additional musicians/production, this album and goal became possible in 2010.
