As many of you know, Aardvark is, in fact, a One-Man-Band. All the music, all the instruments, all the sounds, are created in software. I use a MIDI keyboard and a mouse to input notes and phrases into a software sequencer, allowing me to add parts to my ear's content. I can speed it up, slow it down, change the key and time signatures, all with a few mouse clicks, and, with the exception of the key signature, none of these changes will affect pitch. No, it doesn't sound real; it's not supposed to. It's just me writing what comes out of my fingers. Two of the songs on this CD were co-written by Robert Martinez.
