Our Twilight Pastime

Terra Firma

Ahh, Terra Firma, my first full-length release. I had wanted to put out a full-length Our Twilight Pastime CD ever since Selcouth/Sysiphian, and lo-and-behold, two years later I finally did.

All of these songs were recorded between 2005 and 2006, with some, such as Incandescent, being written around late 2004. Like all of my music, I had recorded this batch of songs in my bedroom, which I lovingly referred to as my “Roomcording Studio.” I’d spent so much time organizing the track listing, making the inserts (which were initially chock-full of errors), mixing the music, and burning the CDs, that it felt like a huge relief once it was finally done.

While most of these tracks had older versions previously released on Yo Banana Boy!, De(mo)caffeinated, and The Wave EP, I’ll Miss You and Small Tribute had never seen the light of day until Terra Firma.


I’ll Miss You, and the CD in general, is dedicated to the loving memory of my Aunt Joyce Tucker (1947-2005).

All tracks written, recorded, and performed by Mike Goldense,
except for the Trumpet on Small Tribute, which was expertly played by Chris Fleming.
