Title is an homage to Mark Rothko's paintings, as I was really into him at the time (and still am!) I think this was recorded in early-ish 2006, around the time some of the tunes on Abstract Expression were done -- though actually before *any* of my records came out! What can I say, I have a backlog. Samples are AMM and John Zorn, and a random radio talk show host talking about the Academy Awards.
