About the track:

In my senior year of High School, I worked in the media center of the library. One of my responsibilities was duplicating lecture tapes for Bob Lerch, our much beloved science teacher. His lectures for AP Biology were notoriously dry, with him basically reading straight from the book, a book which we all had to read anyway. The tapes were labeled by each specific student so, occasionally, I'd add a special personal message at the end of them. Lerch would often fill blank space with music he liked, and he is responsible for introducing me to Pink Floyd. Lerch was known for classroom hi-jinx. Often, out of sheer boredom, he'd smash glass beakers. He was a chemist by training and profession, and would also create non-educational experiments just to break the monotony of teaching biology. He inspired so much devotion that a tradition arose where seniors would toilet paper his house. This tradition was passed from class to class, and I participated in one such event. Unfortunately, my wallet fell from my pocket onto his lawn, and he used it to blackmail me into buying him Pink Floyd's new double Lp, The Wall. He was so excited to get it that he did not notice that I'd put Silver Nitrate on the paper, which turned his fingers brown for several weeks. The track features a segment from one of his lectures.

Artist Biography:

Sander Roscoe Wolff started experimenting with sound and recording at a very young age. Armed with a cassette recorder, he'd capture various environmental sounds, and create soundscapes from his own imagination. He studied music, on and off, through most of elementary school. In college, he began studying music production, electronic music, and audio engineering. During this period he began to expand on his early sonic explorations and created a variety of compositions using power tools, improvised signal processing, and modular synthesis. In the mid 80s, he started playing in bands and, for the next 15 years, wrote songs and played bass in a variety of local groups. After getting married, he returned to solo systems based improvisation, which led to the creation of Ain Soph Aur with Carl Off, which delved deeply into experimental performance and studio work. More recently, he's been performing as one half of Toaster Music, an improvisational electronic music duo. He's also created soundtrack material for From The Heart of Brahma, a documentary about queer Cambodian American dancer Prumsodun Ok, and contributed many pieces for the ongoing series, Let Me Be Frank, about the late American performance artist, Frank Moore.
