The colors have sprung in my backyard so I thought I would put up some pics for the world.

This project was a series of recordings culled from drum and bass jams between Andrew and me. We explored themes until a few parts developed and then turned on the tape. The guitar parts were all overdubbed direct to computer in post production. The focus of the mix is the drum and bass parts. There was also some editing :)

So far we have installed the latest dokuwiki, and added the blog plugin. Our plan for this site is to enable a public and protected blog with discussions. We have changed the default template to one that uses a sidebar for better navigation. This template needs to be customized and we need to do a whole bunch of stuff to make this thing look more like “HinterSphere” (whatever that may be).

The goal with all of this public and protected stuff is to enable protected stuff to be accessible to people we know - family and friends. Here's the kind of stuff we have in mind…

• Providing family updates
• Publishing various music projects
• Keeping in touch with our family, colleagues and friends
