about

This is the 1st 10,000 Lakes album, from 1995. The original idea for 10,000 Lakes was to create a band consisting of a drummer, a keyboardist, and a bassist that used heavy distortion for the bass. It eventually morphed into acoustic guitar and a Casio SA-7. Several previous projects were much more lyrical, and here I wanted to emphasize the instrumental aspect more while still including the same style of random lyrics. Some of the songs are also early attempts at multitracking using tape recorders and old stereos. And kudos to my brothers for singing along and/or wondering what the heck I was singing about.

10,000 Lakes Texas

10,000 Lakes began in 1993, as a solo project using a Casio SA-7, a combination of acoustic and electric guitar, and completely random lyrics recorded onto a tape recorder. The style has mostly stayed the same, except for a change in keyboard to a CA-110, and pro mic's and a mixer. Chopstick shoes. My belt buckle rented someone else's cupcake remedy. ... more
