While invited to play the Fredericton Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival, I came to Fredericton early for a pre-festival “week in the country.” During this allegedly relaxing time, I developed a condition known as RITSS. It led to withdrawal symptoms such as lapsing into L33t speak and the urge to make LOLcat pictures. It also led to finding creative solutions to rural technological limitations - like how to make electronic music in a rural setting.
