Many thanks to Guy Cundell for his Roland GR30 guitar synthesizer.
Special thanks to Shane and Barbara, and the Dunmoochin Foundation.
Kathy and I spent the first few months at Dunmoochin getting to know fellow residents on the site, and in the general community, then in November I began putting this work together, I had only one guideline, that the work would be instrumental music, I delved into some rhythm tracks grabbed from some drum and bass jamming I did with Ron Keelan in May 2006, and used a Roland GR30 Guitar synth, as a composition tool, and let the sounds influence what I played, over all , this work is heavily influenced by music from different cultures, movies and friends.
