“And If You Set This Mind Of Mine Afire Then On My Bloodstream I Yet Will Carry You” is inspired by personal experiences and extensive research with auditory hallucinations (particularly while living in East Oakland in the early 2000s) and the title is taken from the German poet Rainer Maria Rilke’s (1875-1926) poem “Put Out My Eyes” with minor revisions in the title. 2010 is an age of cassette revivalist culture, analog synthesizers and nostalgic aesthetics; however the album makes no apologies in not conforming with these trends and instead opts to use all tools at the creator’s disposal to achieve a unified vision that has been a painful three year undertaking in order to create a work that is unique in scope. The album was recorded with virtual analog synthesizers using computer based-sequencers, the Sequential Circuits Pro One synthesizer, the human voice, and features further extensive use of analog and digital synthesis.
