about

Train Line Triads is a record I've wanted to make ever since Sophia and I moved into our new home a year ago in April 2011. Months of staying up into the late hours and hearing the distant, ghostlike echoes of the local trains passing through the layers of forest and residence toward our home only served to inspire me. I'd usually hear the trains while I was reading in bed, so naturally I began to associate the sound with a calm, meditative state. I didn't expect to have any time to record anything new quite so soon after my daughter Penelope was born on April 10th, however hours of sleep deprivation and a very loose recording setup enabled Train Line Triads to manifest itself in my daughter's first two weeks of life. These three songs are meandering meditations that come from nowhere and go nowhere, just like the trains that seem to emerge and vanish from the ether in those early morning hours. Like many things that come to me only when I have been awake for 3 or 4 days straight, this album made total sense to the almost braindead composer making it, and in hindsight I think it captures some very interesting atmospheres that I might have otherwise erased in a more heightened state of awareness. If nothing else, this recording is a milestone for being the first recording I completed as a father.
