Album Notes

This debut record from Viva Bird is a 17 song collection recorded in April 2010. It is unique in that normally songs are written and then recorded. Traffic and Trees was written as it was recorded, a much more "see what happens" approach to creating a record. The project was a nice break from the guitar dominated music of Caution Cat. The original intent was to use only two of my older keyboards, a bass guitar and a drum machine but that changed when the ideas started to take form....... some tracks needed guitars! There is also lots of acoustic and electronic percussion with a wee bit of uke.
