Basic Stuff:

This album is basically the progeny of my recording projects carried out during January and the summer of 2002, a mixture of acoustic and electronic, melancholy and upbeat music that, in a way, represents the ups and downs of the year rather well. It's sort of a mental/musical roller coaster. I had been looking for a fuller, richer and more textured sound, and I think "Keplerian" is a success in that respect.

Explanation of the Title:

The bizarre title comes from my sister's old telescope, which was ostensibly made by a company called Galileo and, therefore, has "Galileo" printed on the side of it, although the telescope itself is based on the telescopes fashioned and used by Johannes Kepler in the late 16th/early 17th century and doesn't resemble Galileo's telescopes at all. I just found it to be an amusing misnomer, so I decided to use a reference to that misnomer as the title for the new album seeing as how it had nothing to do with the album and thus would become some sort of meta-misnomer.
