3rd Floor/Four Tracks is a collection of music recorded onto a Tascam Porta07 4-track cassette recorder when I lived in the 3rd floor attic of a friend's home on Casterton Avenue in Akron, Ohio.

Personal Thoughts

This was recorded during my first ever true experience with something along the lines of writer's block. I had moved into a duplex with a couple of friends and procured the solitary third floor attic space. I had recently finished the ++2004++ collection and expected to get right back to work--like I always had--but I lacked any kind of inspiration. So, I found a Tascam Porta07 on eBay and thought that buying it would bring back the good old days. When I got it, I set-up a cramped little spot in a window nook and began recording, and this is what I came-up with. It's really mostly just playing around, but I do really like the "Simple Progression" song a lot.
