DISCUSSION] The way this came about is
that Dustin Duffy and I are in a band called Precious
Metals. We would practice once a week or more, and
then every 5th weekend Esten would come up from Wisconsin
and we'd jam all weekend long. This was before Jordan
Strama joined the band, so it was just Dustin and me
practicing the tunes. Anyways, we'd get to a point
where we just couldn't practice anymore, like we could only
get so far without Esten being there, and the stuff we did
practice we practiced 100 times. So Dustin has this
chaos pad that he taught me how to use, and I especially
enjoyed the sampler part of it. So this one time I
just sampled something he was playing and looped it over one
the beats we use for a PM song. Well it just got nuts
after that. He'd play something, I'd sample it, I'd
play something on keyboard, he'd sample it, and we just came
up with these eerie freestyle sessions that were just
chaotic and all over the place, but since they were looped
over a beat they just kind of made sense. We'd jam out
for hours at a time, and currently have over 10 hours of
music we put together. |

Every once in a while we'd drive
to Marshfield and stay the weekend at Esten's instead of him
coming to the Twin Cities. The drive is a long one, 3
hours plus, and we used it to play each other new music we'd
find and just talk about all kinds of things. Well, one of
the trips we made up this whole story about Wisconsin Dells,
that he was actually a man who was a true hero to the people of
Wisconsin, a legend. He used a weapon he fashioned himself
called a Hickory Stick, and used it to fight Kodiak Grizzly
Bears. At the height of his legend he came riding into
town on a Kodiak Grizzly Bear, waving his Hickory Stick in the
air. It was just some ridiculous story we made up and
laughed til we were in tears. So that's why we named it
the Kodiak Sessions. Because of the legend of Wisconsin
Kodiak Grizzly Bear Dells.
Here is one of the songs we cut
out of the hours-long jams we made.
