oh. yeah. great. um sorry.i didn't expect you so soon. let me.give me a second to get things set up here. no problem. yeah. made a few changes around here

and my typical setup is kinda

you know

technology's a killer right?

uh.well.we'll have to wait and see i guess. well. alright. well. umm. well. hey

let's get started. uh.sorry my notes are.you know a little scattered here. uh.you'll have to forgive me. mmhmm. uhmm.i gotta admit i.i really don't know much about. you know.you. you.or the band. but i've got some friends that are big fans and um. right. but.uh.anyway.um.alright. well. ok. so here we go. um.so your new cd is titled a collision

or.um.3 + 4 = 7 that's. that's interesting. you know the.the. mmhmm.whole double title thing. yeah. uhmm lets see.uh.and the atom on the cover that's pretty

uh huh. cool. i was.i mean.i was never all that great in science and. and math wasn't really my.my specialty.which is.which is i guess

you know

why i'm a writer now. but uh. mmhmm.anyway um. ok. ok. so uh.it.i don't know.is that.it's like with the cover. is that a metaphor or.uh.i mean is it metaphorical for something or like

or is it. well.just pretty or.nah. well i mean. yeah. the.uh.atom

it's not really.i mean it's a symbol. you see that and you think atom. it shows electrons moving in elliptical paths around a nucleus and all.we know. mmhmm.that's.that's not how an atom works. or.or looks even

for that matter. ok.and so.and so that's why it was appropriate for the cover

you know. right. uhmm. ok. yeah. i'm not really sure i see the connection. but.well.and what we mean to say is that the elements of worship are inadequate

much like the atom depiction. but this is what we have you know?

it helps us carry the idea. mmhmm. mmhmm. uhmm. ok. uh. tell.ok.what's the deal with these little songs between the real.you know

the real songs?

like are they significant? uhmm.is there like a theme of the album?

or are they creating space? like what's.going on there?

uhmm. i don't. ok. uhmm. so you know i hear there's this really spectacular ending to. to the record is that true?

we'll have to wait and see on that. swell. it does swell. wait.uh it.wait.hold on.it does well?

no. it swells. oh. right. it swells. uhmm. ok. well. and so the end starts with this.this piece called the lark ascending."
