“The title, Pool of Lost Grooves, is a playful reference to a feature on many music software programs called a groove pool in which rhythmic ideas can be stored and then retrieved and integrated into a new work in an improvisatory way. I like the free flowing mindset of improvising and have steered in that direction with Pool of Lost Grooves. Musical motives come in and out of focus in a dream like way, sometimes appearing in punching rhythmic clarity and at other times drifting past like a lonely, lost cloud.” – Marcus Goddard
