Album Notes

Spring is the beginning--when this years green appears through last year's brown. The notion of rebirth, recyling, and remaking. In the digital medium, the idea of remixing is less a separate process than simply how music is often made. The decision between what is a remix and what is a new composition can be entirely arbritary. Ryan Francesconi wanted to explore this decision by inviting some of his favorite musicians to remix a song from one of his RF releases. The result is this compilation.

The smell of spring ticked my senses months ago, but the lingering effects are still there. Rain-soaked streets erase the bitter memories of a forlorn winter, and give hope for the coming summer. Each new flower that blooms is like another skeleton released from the closet, set free into an unknowing world. Around every corner is something unexpected, and each surprise opens doors to new possibilities of excitement, love, and life. So many things begin in spring for a reason. - Excerpted from a review of RF, Falls by Brad Rose, Foxy Digitalis
