That's Driving from Whalellabies by Troll Tunes

My first notes on this read as such:

Thank you friends!

This experiment started with asking two friends for a 3 minutes track played to a single 3 minute video I spliced together from the movie My Octopus Teacher. Can you guess which tracks? Yes! The well-played ones of course.

My friend Timothy Weber on ukulele bass and David Hirmes on doom guitar. My thanks to them as I mangled their contributions into the oddity you hear here.

This took seven days and went through 13 enormous permutations. I'm going back to being a solo artist now.

That's what I wrote.

AND THEN, an hour later I looked at a photo of my friend Katharine Daly, who is no longer with us, and I realized that I wanted to cover her song "That's Driving", and then I realized that that needed to be THIS TRACK. So after another half a week of trying and indecision, I came to this.

Katharine was a mad genius, brilliant and funny and I barely knew her. A hundred people came to her wake on Zoom. She recorded this song several times. I hope they all endure.

Cartoonist. Never made music.

Troll Music... If a troll that lived under a bridge decided to stop eating people and maybe learn their ways. Starting with music.

Ok, for real.

I have:

No skills,
no innate talent,
a bad piano,
a 40-year old keyboard,
a bad voice,
shitty recording equipment
and well, a drive to create and figure things out.

Thanks so much.
