The collection is unique in that normally songs are written and <em>then</em> recorded. Traffic and Trees was written as it was recorded, a much more "see what happens" approach to creating a record. The project was a nice break from the guitar dominated music of Caution Cat. The original intent was to use only two keyboards, a bass guitar and a drum machine but that changed when the ideas started to take form....... some tracks needed guitars! There is also lots of acoustic and electronic percussion with a wee bit of uke. </span></strong></span></span></p>
