about

This track (the last one that Thomas Clarke produced in Austin, TX) was composed using statements and script material from the “Am I Invisible” theatrical production. The instrumentation was an expansion of an instrumental sample that Thomas Clarke composed for the production but discarded before the first live performance. The lyrics deal with the struggles of being homeless in Austin, TX.
