about

Josh made this album long ago in Chippendale, Sydney, in 2004 in fact.

It was recorded with the use of a guitar and a loop pedal, though on many of the pieces here you mightn't realise it was that simple. At this time Josh's focus was more on the melody and "song" of an instrument, which can be heard on many of the guitar solos. Each piece has such character, such warmth.

He found it again in a forgotten box - and listened to it and rediscovered its charm.
He has re-released it in the hope that you find it to.
