Pocket Sardine by Shastik Cret Menagerie

Pocket sardines are the most utile food stuff.

This album is all about having a bit of fun with your friends, with your family, on your own, etcetera. I wanted to try to form duos with as many people as possible, in an attempt to develop one-on-one relationships for future trios/quartets/quintets ... Anyway, that's an album or two ahead, the ideas are only just forming. There's still many more people I'd like to perform with.

Um. It's a bit of a long one. Most of it was conceptually composed around November 2021, the actual performing/recording began in December 2021 and finished around February 2022. Obviously once you begin recording you sort of re-compose everything and re-adjust, the structure becomes clearer, some stuff happens that you never expected and you want to include it. So anyway. It's done now.
