A few words from Mr Harold Budd.....
It was 4 days, but a last piece discovered and quickly recorded on Friday at some inexpressibly dull interlude as it was all being downloaded off of Pro Tools. Really only three and a half days : twenty-one pieces (an astounding number that seems at the moment very non-astounding : if it's there, do it).
There are some beautiful pieces waiting, napping in those files. Except for yesterday's surprise piece, I wanted to avoid hacking around fruitlessly for more -- more we did; I didn't want to ruin the vibe Robin and I had going: when it happened, we knew it and simply went with it.
Harold Budd
and I picture I stole from Jack....

You may not be able to fit all 21 tracks on one CD, but I hope they can all be released somehow. Any rough idea how many minutes we're talking about here?!
