Flat Tire: Music for a Non-Existent Movie by Allan Holdsworth

Flat Tire: Music for a Non-Existent Movie is the eleventh and final studio album by guitarist Allan Holdsworth, released on 1 December 2001 through Megazoidal Records and reissued in 2013 through MoonJune Records. Besides the first track, the entire album was recorded by Holdsworth himself using the SynthAxe, an instrument for which he became well known since Atavachron (1986). In the liner notes, Holdsworth briefly talks about events in his personal life which had resulted in the loss of his home studio, The Brewery, as well as explaining the concept behind the album: "I always liked the idea of trying to create music for movies and through my experiences of the last 18 months The Movie – Flat Tire was made, hence the subtitle Music for a Non-Existent Movie."
