It was recently discovered that there was an unintended side-effect to reclusive billionaire Moz Quilson's deep sea, underwater science habitat. One of the experiments produced a chemical reaction that formed a large, artificial island chain on the surface. Plans were drawn up to colonize the islands as a sovereign resort nation so it was necessary to commission a national anthem/album.

There were some complications as Dairy Tade insisted that he receive one of the islands for use as an off-site dairy outpost. It was found that Remy Jujube, a young professional, had drawn up contracts for the exact situation, back when the underwater habitat was originally constructed. Though these contracts were never signed, the combined weight of needing a domestic food supply chain allowed Tade's requirements to be met.

I strive to use all open source or personally programmed synths in my music – PureData/Max and Ardour, while playing my lead parts in on my M-Audio Axiom 61. I create all of my 3D album art in Blender.
