O’Rourke wrote all the music, performed all of the instrumental parts, and recorded The Visitor in his home studio in Tokyo—and the finished product is a mile wide and several miles deep.

Despite the complexity and scurrying motion of some of the music on TimeTable Percussion’s inaugural release, there is a satisfying, contemplative feel throughout; even the most rambunctious moments are allowed to breathe and then diffuse, an approach that prevents anything from becoming too forceful or overbearing.
