about

He shot her in the gut. Twice. Then he dropped the gun beside her on the bed and walked out. Tossing the gloves in the trash can on the corner, he crossed the street and into the Blue Basement Bar. There was no one around except the bartender who poured him a shot of rye and left him alone. Alone to think about her and what started six months ago. And about his bad luck with women. Bad, bad luck.

This pandemic project began in August, 2020. The musicians recorded their parts in Northern Virginia, Maryland, Connecticut, Ohio, and Switzerland using pre-produced audio guides. Some of the pre-produced audio was used in the final recordings. David Kaplan and I put together the bits and pieces. I hope we will soon be able to enjoy music in person again. Thanks for listening.
