Project thoughts and motivations from Tidy Kid... 2nd Release .... Frozen Flower Pot ... January 2007

Thoughts and motivations : Tidy Kid likes to create music from his home, with a single microphone, pre-amp, all original samples taken from his commercial studio and mish mashed to play alongside an improvised guitar and vocal performance. The signal chain is pure of frustration, the technical side has diminished and stress levels are at an all time low. As written in the project one notes, the sonic boom of the mind is allowed to have an effect on all the sound waves being produced.

This 4 track EP has been created in response to Tidy Kid's first EP, People Sit In Cars. Where the first helped to create the sound and shape through conditioning rules, restrictions, complications, the 2 nd EP is a reaction to the conditioned world tidy kid has created for himself. In some ways, it's there to make Tidy Kid feel uneasy with creating an artist sound, and how easy it is, to get stuck in your own sound. All tracks through both EP's have been more or less, exercises. No single idea has been let loose, to play on it's own. For the moment, this is not a bad thing.

The 2nd EP has the same restrictions, same conditions as the first. It is also the completion of the first year of composing and therefore, what will cont. after this point is a heavily contrasted self proposed plan for an Album, due in 08. My Frozen Flower Pot also starts to bring into the equation the idea of large contrast, not only within single tracks, but also from track to track. The CD finishes of with a track called Snail, which is a one take classical guitar performance, improvised on the spot, first thing in the morning, with simple additions of voice, keys and drums. For Tidy Kid, it's the perfect way to let go of what has been, enjoy in it, but to now, look forward and sprout another limb. Tidy Kid would love to thank Umor Rex, for taking on this 2nd EP, a fantastic net label!
