It started with just the Travis-style fingerpicking guitar, and then I added some piano chords, and then I thought, "Okay, now I shall add a simple bass line" and it sort of went off the rails at that point.

This is a wonderful example of how using a different bass inspires different bass lines. My newest, an Ibanez SRC6MS multiscale crossover bass wants to move. This isn't quite its debut--there are a few tracks on the Void Conspiracy Salvation album that have it, too--but it's the first track here with it.

Title comes from a coffee cup from L'viv Coffee Factory, almost the only souvenir I brought back from nine months of Ukraine. Almost immediately, I dropped it in my garage and it's heavily cracked. But still there.

This isn't really done--but nothing ever really is, is it?
