word: this album was recorded in two weeks, the songs sequentially,
on an 8-track. most were based on 4 track sketches that i had
accumulated during the A&M days. i basically wanted to make an
acoustic record. something quiet and opposite of the sonic assault
that dominated dope box. however, i couldn't resist the urge to play
with sounds. the original idea was to mix the entire album as one
song since most everything overlapped but without an automated
board it was futile. i think making aviating was the most relaxing
and fluid recording experience I've ever had-- probably
because there was almost no one else in the world involved.
