Reuben Walton is an artist and songwriter originally from Cape Cod, MA and currently based in Woods Hole, MA. His work spans multiple genres with a pop-centric focus. A graduate of UMass Lowell and Sturgis Charter Public School, Walton's involvement in music has been a longterm passion with a steady shift towards original material beginning in high school. From his beginnings with choral ensembles, avant garde lo-fi dadaist compositions and earnest cover songs, to his free-flowing explorations of hip hop, atmospheric R&B and plaintive pop melodies, Walton brings a unique perspective that is both vulnerable and playful, his vocals and ear for melody and rhythm forming much of the common element unifying his body of work. His modest career highlights have included performances at UMass Lowell's annual Mothers of Rock concert and various venues in Southeastern Massachusetts and the Greater Boston area. Currently he is in the process of assembling a short EP with producer AVLI Music of Avli Music Productions in Woodland Hills, CA, in addition to working on a variety of side projects and collaborations.

Story behind the song
An ever-churning, constantly changing stew of beats and rhythms that is best when put on a plate and served chilled. That description, by the way, is partially from the description for some ambient internet radio station I used to listen to called Groove Salad. This definitely could work as a breakdancing piece. My late friend Amber asked to have full creative control over her own polyrhythmic piece, and I obliged. However, I did create at least one of the loops that she used for one of the loop sections, and both of our vocals and lyrics are featured in the song. However, I think in giving her mostly full creative control, I also didn't advise her on how to loop sections in GarageBand, which could be why a lot of the song features loops that don't repeat, until the song finally settles on one main beat about halfway through. This song was originally uploaded to my SoundClick music page at http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=541671&content=music on Sunday 10/5/2008. The track artwork is a picture taken by either my Mom or David R. Wald during their trip to New Orleans, LA circa 2007. I have no idea who's kids those are. It was taken with my Mom's old digital camera. I compressed the image size to fit square dimensions and fit pixel requirements. What I'm about to say to Amber at the end of my vocals is that at my Dad's old house at 30 Hilton Avenue, Woods Hole, MA 02543, there was a mylar balloon that was for a birthday party that ended up staying up at the top of the high ceiling in the living room for several months after the party.
