• Matthewdavid and I agreed that the idea of releasing
  my three Carlos Niño & Friends full-lengths -
  Flutes, Echoes, It's All Happening! (2016), Going Home (2017),
  and Bliss On Dear Oneness (2019) all originally released
  on LP and Digital by Leaving Records - on cassette for the first time,
  was a good one. When I went to figure out where the side breaks
  would be in the track sequence, I realized that none of them
  would fit very well, due to timing and length. I have run into
  this issue before with cassette and vinyl sequences, as there
  is only so much music that can be pressed onto a side.
  In some cases I have had to edit or omit songs to fit a side of vinyl.
  They make different lengths, durations of tape, and I considered
  different track orders for each individual record, but somehow
  none of the configurations that I came up with were working
  for these to become cassette releases. I then conceived of a
  single tape (C80, 40 minutes a side) that would compile songs
  from these releases with a couple pieces from my previous
  self-released LP Aurorasmushroomtenderness (2014) and
  the one that came before that on (the long defunct) Porter Records
  Aquariusssssss (2012). Matthewdavid and I had always thought
  that it would be a good idea for a couple new pieces to come out
  Digitally in conjunction with the tape releases. In this new concept
  I was able to start each side with one of the new pieces I had ready.
  The title Assortment for Susan's is a living, Loving tribute to our
  Dear Friend and Collaborator Justin Hansohn and his community
  company Anandamide. The Anandamide headquarters
  in Elysian Park, California is called Susan's, named after the dog
  that he shares with his partner Taylor. LOVE to Justin, Taylor,
  Susan, Monkey, Warren, and all of the Anandamide Family . . .
