I kept recording for several minutes while I wandered outside and let the cool, sunlit shower wash me down. This is how it was that lost day in May of 2006.

When I returned home I added some complimentary electronics to the audio soup. With layers of effects and a delicate mix, the synthesizers now rise gently in the breeze and fall like waves on a far, otherworldly reef -- an electro-organic sliver of sound from the Samoa of my dreams.
