Album Notes

Workday/Schoolnight is about taking other people's sonic trash and making art out of it. Couple that with a healthy dose of cynicism about the way the world works, and where we're headed, and you have "Plastic Ocean". Using casios, yamahas, and kawai synths from the 1980s, the album flows nicely from synth-punk songs to noisy experimental wanderings, often with someone speaking to you about a variety of seemingly random topics, from daily affirmations and subliminal self-help, to improving your memory, cures for incurable diseases, minimum wage increases, and how to save BIG money with coupons.

Workday/Schoolnight was originally conceived as a side project for Bart Trotman as a means to continue playing small clubs after his other project, INVISIBLE, became more focused on bigger arts venues. The "band" or collective group, INVISIBLE, has increasingly become known for their hardly-portable homemade art instruments. One of which is called Rhythm 1001, a sprawling analog drum machine that works like a giant old-timey music box, and the other, The Selectric Piano, is a typewriter that plays piano - every letter equaling a note, the text then being projected for all to see AND hear.
