Slow Light was named in 2012, but is much older as a stream of music.
I tried to give up music in the late 90s. It was time to put away childish things. (Because I had a child.) But the music kept coming, songs bursting full born into my head. I picked up the guitar again, a 1973 Telecaster Custom, the only guitar I've played since age 17. And the bass. And the first synth (a Korg Delta), followed briefly by an Oberheim OB-8. After decades as a Tele purist I held a Strat that immediately owned me; you'll hear it on solos in some songs. Gradually I admitted I loved these childish things. Though most of them ended up being sold.
But carrying dozens of songs in my head produced anxiety, so I decided to start recording them. Just rough demos... famous last words in the era of infinite digital tracks. In 2012 I rigged up a tiny bedroom studio and went to work. I never meant to be the "singer" of these songs: they were (and are) just demos, intended for an audience of the 2 or 3 musicians I hoped to entice into a studio project.
Finally, in 2022, came time to admit the studio project was unlikely. I re-recorded most of the bass and guitar tracks. Same old Fender Aerodyne bass, same now-old Strat plus a PRS Fiore for that added prog-rock smooth distortion. By now a few other "Slow Light" bands have come (and gone). I'll stick with this for a while because, logo.
