Artist commentary for Ithaca:

sometime 6/12/2016 – 7/14/2016captured 7/14/2016 Michael Guy Bowman ✑ Bandcamp about blurb

After spending years making music exclusively for Homestuck, I branched out with 2012's Ithaca, my first independently released album. Following up on my album-within-a-web-comic Mobius Trip and Hadron Kaleido, I moved away from my palette of digital synths to focus on a classic rock style. Out come the guitars, the bass, the little toy harp. Shades of Eno, Bowie, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, even a swing tune. It's a freaky affair.

The ideas came from everywhere. There's a song based on something I heard in a dream when I was eight years old, ("Old Buggy Now"). There's one about an engineer who falls in love with an experimental aircraft ("Tacit Blue"). There's a carriage ride through a Manila's Chinatown district ("Kalesa In Binondo"). The title track "Ithaca" recalls Odysseus, a bowman himself. All of it is peppered with guest contributions from Internet friends.

Twelve songs to listen to. Ithaca is calling.
