A collection of tracks made using acoustic stringed instruments (guitars, ukulele, psaltery, homemade instruments...).
Tracks recorded between 2006 and 2011.
There will eventually be a physical CDr version of this album. Each CD will have unique packaging and contain an extra track at the end unique to that specific copy (tracks vary mostly between 1 and 3 minutes in length) - you cannot buy this through Bandcamp, but if you would like a copy you can email theqwe@gmail.com to obtain one.
Dedicated to Jaymes Darvid Gebhaste.
