Tetracketam.

Tetrameter It's so weird because in Tripping Daisy, I was thinking about the polyphonic spree, like, later in my life, this would be something I'd do. This is like, and this is an old man's band that I would do. I would, like, create this sound, and this is what I want to do, and that would be what would happen.

Tell me from the beginning, what was the idea?

You know, Tripping Days, you were towards there at the end, we were an experimental kind of psychedelic rock band, pop band, but very much kind of experimental

in our sounds.

And I think a lot of that was birthed out of wanting to hear symphonic instruments and

other things.

So you do, you take these other instruments as far as you can and you manipulate and

you make them what they are. It started back then, that's when I like, wow, I wish we had a flute here, you know,

wish we had strings at this part, I wish we had this, but not having it at our toolkit.

That's where it kind of started, and then I was like, man, what would it be like if I had

10 people singing that current? What if those harmonies are coming through? And then

you've got all this texture with instruments that, you know, can almost tell a story on their

own if they're just played by themselves. Similar to the Walt Disney storybook records I used to get

as a kid another big influence. So that's when I'd start thinking about it, but then I'm like, okay, Tim, you're about to

go back into music again, what's it going to be?

And I would hear these songs that I was writing and thinking that maybe it's time to do

this that was going to come much later. And so I kind of started talking about it.

How would you write the songs?

Did you play guitar?

I play guitar and piano.
