about

I wrote this in early summer 2020 and recorded the piano part on July 8, 2020. I sent a rough copy of the recording to Nelson Rivera, Chris Brydge, and John Bacon. John recorded along with that, and I sent a rough mix of our resulting duo to Nelson and Chris. They each recorded along with that.

I gave them a copy of the piano part, but otherwise their only instruction was to make sure I'd be able to accurately synch their track with mine.
