Smalltime from Bittybox

Bittybox is the solo studio project of singer songwriter Vicki Silbert. The term bittybox comes from computer hacker slang for an old, slow, underpowered computer. This seemed an apt analogy for a digital audio project begun with no budget and minimal gear.

The "Smalltime" CD began on a home computer, using Digital Performer audio recording software. Eventually the tracks were ported into ProTools for recording session players and final mixes. Some illustrious musicians made guest appearances, including performances from drummer Jimmy Paxson, and legendary viola player Novi Novog.

Vicki's music career began on the fringes of the LA club scene during the Los Angeles punk rock movement. This was where she first found her voice as a singer songwriter. Over the years her songwriting has deepened and matured, but her music still retains that DIY attitude and rebellious spirit, refusing to be pigeonholed.
