"2 one hour drives were recorded in real time through a lap steel guitar 
(through the pick-up) and a banjo (through a contact mic) laying on the 
back seat of my car. the drives were then layered on to 8 tracks, with 
some laid down backwards. total sound is 42 vibrating strings following 
the movement of my car over the freeways, driving from los angeles to 
santa barbara and back. some of the tweaky radio frequency sounds were 
simply coming from the lap steel pick-up. likewise some of the talking 
near the end of the piece is the car radio being picked up from the 
contact mic. the two original tracks were laid down without any 
processing, the other layers were processed. the piece is very soft for 
the first several minutes."
