Trickfinger Trickfinger Ii CD

The Trickfinger project was recorded ten years ago with no intention of being released at the time, made purely for discovery and learning experience. John Frusciante on the project: "In my opinion, making music with no intention of releasing it is the best thing a musician can do for his own development in this day and age. The Trickfinger LP (AT 005CD/LP, 2015) was made in that mindset, and it was the beginning of a new musical life for me. When I hear it, it sounds like I am opening up doorways to new worlds, and I never have had that feeling listening to music I made for the purpose of releasing it and selling it." All the music was recorded live onto a CD burner, through a cheap mixer. John would sit on a chair, in his living room, surrounded by five to fifteen machines, and just keep programming and jamming until the track was ready to be recorded. There were no overdubs; it was recorded live. Acid Test unearthed these recordings and John agreed to have them released. Trickfinger II is the second part of recordings made during the winter of 2007.
