NOTES: This recording was made a few days before Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. Any perspectives that I may have had about this recording prior to that event have changed deeply. For a long time we didn't even know wheter the tracks from the session had even survived. Many of the musicians had left town. The whole town had had to leave town.
We are now a few years past the August 2005 date of the recording. This is the second studio recording of the Naked orchestra and five years later after the first. There are mandy personnel changes since that first recording though many of those first members are still with the band. The players and the ideas have changed over time as has our cultural environmnet, music scene, and music industry. There are many new economic and artistic pressures around us. A group of this size is certainly very vulnerable to all of these forces and yet what seems the factor that kept the Naked Orchestra together is the remarkable generosity of everyone involved. That is to say that from their belief in the art form of music, the musicians and the studio personnel gave freely of time and resources to make this happen. So we seem to be surviving on the fumes and fragrances of luck, love, and belief in the artform.
