USING THE ARTIST PSEYDONYM OF "ANDO" FOR HIS OUTSTANDING PROJECT TO SEPARATE IT FROM HIS PREVIOUS WORKS, TAYLOR DEUPREE STARTED WORKING ON THIS RELEASE IN 2004 BUT HAD TO INTERRUPT EVERY NOW AND THEN SINCE TIME WASN'T RIGHT. IN 2007, HE ONCE AGAIN GOT WORKING ON IT, RESULTING IN FOUR IMPRESSIVE TRACKS WHICH GIVE A TASTE OF THE UPCOMING ALBUM. TOUCHING BACK UPON TECHNIQUES HE EXPLORED IN THE MID-1990'S DEUPREE UTILIZES MULTIPLE TIME SIGNATURES, ODD DELAYS, FEEDBACKS, AND REPETITION TO PLAY WITH TIME AND RHYTHM. THE MINIMAL AESTHETIC IS VERY MUCH IN LINE WITH WHAT HE IS DOING TODAY, BUT THE STYLINGS ARE DECIDEDLY TECHNO. TAYLOR DEUPREE IS A SOUND ARTIST, PHOTOGRAPHER, AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER RESIDING IN UPSTATE NEW YORK. IN 1997 HE FORMED THE 12K LABEL, WHICH AFTER 11 YEARS, HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST RESPECT OUTLETS FOR NEW, DIGITAL MUSIC IN THE WORLD. OVER THE PAST 14 YEARS DEUPREE HAS RELEASED MANY CDS ON LABELS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD AND HAS TRAVELLED THE GLOBE PERFORMING AND PHOTOGRAPHING.
