This album was created by Stephen Clark over a seven-month period in 2004, and completed on October 1st. It was recorded on a home computer using the Adobe Audition software. There are ten songs on the disc, plus one unlisted track at the end. Most of the instrumentation was sequenced on a Korg i3 synthesizer workstation and recorded directly into the computer. Some of the songs feature real instruments like saxophone and guitar – these were recorded using a mic and performed by several guest musicians, namely Ryan Hicks, Nick Amey, Mark George, Kate Gordon and Danielle Anderson. As for the drums, Stephen used a technique whereby he recorded a range of single-drum hits in a studio, then arranged the drum-hits in the computer in such a way that they aligned perfectly with electronic drum-tracks that he'd sequenced earlier. Other songs have purely electronic drums. The music also contains spoken-word samples from various sources like TV and movies – no permission was sought to use this copyrighted material. For this reason (and many other reasons), "Destroy Everything And Pie" is not being sold for money – it's being given away for free. One hundred copies of this disc were made.
The cover-artwork and photography was designed by Stephen using Photoshop and Illustrator. There are twenty photos on the inside-cover, many of which feature pictures of strangers in public places. If you have a copy of this album, Stephen would encourage you to lend it to your friends so that they can make copies of it.
