Waste not, want not! Spare Parts is an anthology of _NetNomad songs from the last four years. Some were written for games and never saw proper release on an album, and others have been released previously but are presented again here with some improvements. I've always been a believer that an album of music is one single piece of art, the songs all being pieces of a greater artistic whole. You might ask, then, why an anthology? Why the haphazard patchwork?
Well, a quilt is a work of art in its own right!
All songs written, arranged, and produced by _NetNomad except 7 which was written by Turlough O'Carolan.
Spoken word on 2 performed by RickyAdamant.
SLM Concert Spectrum solo on 8 performed by Naomi Hikaru.
EWI solos on 2, 6, 7, 8, and 9 performed by _NetNomad.
"The Castle" originally from Bit Crushed's Chips for Change 2020 compilation, a benefit for the ACLU.
"Waterways," "Dungeons and Dances," "Dig," "Solar Rush" and "The Long Run" all originally created for game projects originating at the Buffalo Game Space.
"Computers Are People Too" originally from DX Complex's Future Tense Album In a Weekend compilation.
Special thanks to all my friends at DX Complex for proving that a patchwork of people can also come together as parts of a greater whole.
