"Nowhere Songs" are solo tracks recorded over a period of three years jumbled together. Most songs deal with place - as a subject and as an active participant in the overall sound and style of each piece. Songs were recorded in attics, basements, barns, showers, practice rooms, houses, and apartments. In many cases a track of an acoustic instrument was recorded and then manipulated using various pedal effects.

Instruments used on the record include: Balinese and Javanese Gamelan, guitars (acoustic, electric, bass), Drums (sets, individual toms, bells, paint cans, tabla, djembe), Pianos (baby grand and upright), keyboards, Upright Bass, Violin, Viola, Guzheng, Sitar and Sitar guitar, Mandolin, Clarinet, Accordian, Mbira, Handle bars and a Gameboy.
