Afternoons EP by Ben Ricketts
On February 7, 2009, I played my first ever show. I had done a few odds-and-ends cover sets and get-togethers before this date, but it was the first time I presented a mostly original set for an audience as part of a full bill. I wanted to release an EP on the ten-year anniversary of this date.
This EP was recorded in about three days. I used to work this quickly a lot, but I haven't in quite some time. This album was performed primarily with hardware. The drums were created or taken from various pieces of equipment that I own and sequenced with software, but everything else was played live or sequenced with various physical equipment.
"Daughter of the Gods" was written initially about three years ago, and the lyrics have changed little-by-little until they reached their current form in late 2017. The other three songs were written just before (and in some cases during) the process of recording.
I sincerely hope you enjoy this EP. God bless you, and I love all of you.
