After college I was hanging out back home, idling, waiting to find out what to do next, but I was making music. At the time I was doing a lot of multi-track audio work on my PC, and while I waited for audio files to render, I started playing this penny whistle that was sitting on my desk. I kept waiting for audio files to finish, so I kept playing the whistle. Then one night I started writing these tunes, featuring the whistle right up front, along with guitar, Owen Pirkle’s drum set, and an electronic glitch/loop in the background, low in the mix. I imagined this music to be from a fictional gypsy country, performed by old fashioned people late at night in the middle of the woods, around a fire.
