I've heard this process described as 'overdubbing into the air.' I wasn't trying to be good, or original. I was just excited that music could be made that way; it felt like I was a whole group of musicians playing together, or like I was jamming with ghosts of myself. In 2007, I started doing it myself, which resulted in what was eventually released as \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrickfinger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrickfinger II\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. I was just home from tour and was still in the middle of recording The Empyrean. A couple of years later I started making music by overdubbing onto a computer, but using the same machines. I tried to make music that didn't sound like anything else. I saw a way of combining progressive rock and synth pop which nobody had done. And I was combining my songwriting and guitar playing with these old machines in a way which I was sure was unique. I had reached a point where it was more important to do something original than to do something good. Some of this music did not get a proper release, and is compiled here as the vinyl record \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHigh Low\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. I don't think I have ever tried so hard at making music as I did during that period. This in contrast to those two Trickfinger records, where I wasn't trying at all. I was really pushing myself on \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eHigh Low\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. Looking back, it was as if I had an audience inside myself, driving me to go beyond my abilities, while at the same time I had a total disregard for any concept of an actual audience. It was one of those periods in life where things come together in a certain way that feels natural at the time, but seems foreign in retrospect. It felt like I was going to die if I didn't do something musically different. The fourth record in this box is me breaking in a new mixing console, making live-to-stereo music. The record is called \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eRotation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and it is all new music. These tracks are more in the 'not trying' category, since we're on that subject. I had just come home from tour, and was just really glad to be in the studio with my machines. Acid Test thought it would be nice to do a box set commemorating the 10th anniversary of the release of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrickfinger\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and so we put together this box set, with homemade cover art.\" --\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Frusciante\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jackpot Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47947548950746,"sku":null,"price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/5705\/3402\/files\/ATLPTFBOX_CU.jpg?v=1780449268","url":"https:\/\/jackpotrecords.com\/products\/john-frusciante-presents-trickfinger-in-a-box-5lp-vinyl-pre-order-out-7-10-26","provider":"Jackpot Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
