Chris composed a series of grooves first, and with a collaborative effort from co producer Jon Gagan, added the harmonic and melodic layers.  Half the record features a series of percussion/drumset duets between Chris and world- drummer Peter Erskine.  Chris took some of the grooves they created on the fly and turned them into full songs while left others to be stand alone pieces of music.  The result made for a completely original record that is surely like nothing you’ve heard before.
